OpenCV的Mat类型以及基本函数使用
Mat和IplImage的区别
Mat和IplImage的主要区别
在OpenCV中IplImage是表示一个图像的结构体，也是从OpenCV1.0到目前最为重要的一个结构；在之前的图像表示用IplImage，而且之前的OpenCV是用C语言编写的，提供的接口也是C语言接口。
Mat是后来OpenCV封装的一个C++类，用来表示一个图像，和IplImage表示基本一致，但是Mat还添加了一些图像函数。
IplImage
IplImage数据结构的定义在opencvbuildincludeopencv2coretypes_c.h文件中。
typedef struct _IplImage
{
int nSize; /* sizeof(IplImage) */
int ID; /* version (=0)*/
int nChannels; /* Most of OpenCV functions support 1,2,3 or 4 channels */
int alphaChannel; /* Ignored by OpenCV */
int depth; /* Pixel depth in bits: IPL_DEPTH_8U, IPL_DEPTH_8S, IPL_DEPTH_16S,
IPL_DEPTH_32S, IPL_DEPTH_32F and IPL_DEPTH_64F are supported. */
char colorModel[4]; /* Ignored by OpenCV */
char channelSeq[4]; /* ditto */
int dataOrder; /* 0 - interleaved color channels, 1 - separate color channels.
cvCreateImage can only create interleaved images */
int origin; /* 0 - top-left origin,
1 - bottom-left origin (Windows bitmaps style). */
int align; /* Alignment of image rows (4 or 8).
OpenCV ignores it and uses widthStep instead. */
int width; /* Image width in pixels. */
int height; /* Image height in pixels. */
struct _IplROI *roi; /* Image ROI. If NULL, the whole image is selected. */
struct _IplImage *maskROI; /* Must be NULL. */
void *imageId; /* " " */
struct _IplTileInfo *tileInfo; /* " " */
int imageSize; /* Image data size in bytes
(==image->height*image->widthStep
in case of interleaved data)*/
char *imageData; /* Pointer to aligned image data. */
int widthStep; /* Size of aligned image row in bytes. */
int BorderMode[4]; /* Ignored by OpenCV. */
int BorderConst[4]; /* Ditto. */
char *imageDataOrigin; /* Pointer to very origin of image data
(not necessarily aligned) -
needed for correct deallocation */
}
IplImage;可见，IplImage是一个表示图像的结构体：C语言操作OpenCV的数据结构。地位等同于Mat，可以说是历史版本了。

Mat
Mat这个数据结构定义在opencvbuildincludeopencv2corecore.hpp这个文件。
class CV_EXPORTS Mat
{
public:
//! default constructor
Mat();
//! constructs 2D matrix of the specified size and type
// (_type is CV_8UC1, CV_64FC3, CV_32SC(12) etc.)
Mat(int rows, int cols, int type);
Mat(Size size, int type);
//! constucts 2D matrix and fills it with the specified value _s.
Mat(int rows, int cols, int type, const Scalar& s);
Mat(Size size, int type, const Scalar& s);
//! constructs n-dimensional matrix
Mat(int ndims, const int* sizes, int type);
Mat(int ndims, const int* sizes, int type, const Scalar& s);
//! copy constructor
Mat(const Mat& m);
//! constructor for matrix headers pointing to user-allocated data
Mat(int rows, int cols, int type, void* data, size_t step=AUTO_STEP);
Mat(Size size, int type, void* data, size_t step=AUTO_STEP);
Mat(int ndims, const int* sizes, int type, void* data, const size_t* steps=0);
//! creates a matrix header for a part of the bigger matrix
Mat(const Mat& m, const Range& rowRange, const Range& colRange=Range::all());
Mat(const Mat& m, const Rect& roi);
Mat(const Mat& m, const Range* ranges);
//! converts old-style CvMat to the new matrix; the data is not copied by default
Mat(const CvMat* m, bool copyData=false);
//! converts old-style CvMatND to the new matrix; the data is not copied by default
Mat(const CvMatND* m, bool copyData=false);
//! converts old-style IplImage to the new matrix; the data is not copied by default
Mat(const IplImage* img, bool copyData=false);
//! builds matrix from std::vector with or without copying the data
......

};Mat是OpenCV最基本的数据结构，Mat即矩阵（Matrix）的缩写我们在读取图片的时候就是将图片定义为Mat类型，其重载的构造函数一大堆。
其中有一个构造函数可以很方便的直接将IplImage转化为Mat
Mat(const IplImage* img, bool copyData=false);基本函数使用
imread
功能：从一个文件中载入图片
定义：
Mat imread( const string& filename, int flags=1 );■第一个参数，const string&类型的filename，这是我们需要载入的图片路径名。
在Windows操作系统下，OpenCV的imread函数支持常用的图片类型，比如bmp,jpg,jpeg,png等等。
■第二个参数，int类型的flags，为载入标识，它指定一个加载图像的颜色类型。可以看到它自带缺省值1.所以有时候这个参数在调用时我们可以忽略。如果在调用时忽略这个参数，就表示载入三通道的彩色图像。具体原因看下面的解释。
flags是int型的变量，我们可以按如下方式取值：
- flags >0返回一个3通道的彩色图像。
- flags =0返回灰度图像。
- flags <0返回包含Alpha通道的加载的图像。
需要注意的点：输出的图像默认情况下是不载入Alpha通道进来的。如果我们需要载入Alpha通道的话呢，这里就需要取负值。
所以默认值flags=1表示载入三通道的彩色图像。
imshow
功能：显示一个图像
定义：
void imshow(const string& winname, InputArray mat); ■ 第一个参数，const string&类型的winname，填需要显示的窗口标识名称。
■ 第二个参数，InputArray 类型的mat，填需要显示的图像。
InputArray 类型是什么类型？
通过转到定义，我们可以在opencvbuildincludeopencv2highguihighgui.hpp文件中找到imshow的原型：
CV_EXPORTS_W void imshow(const string& winname, InputArray mat);进一步对InputArray转到定义，在opencvbuildincludeopencv2corecore.hpp文件中查到一个typedef声明：
typedef const _InputArray& InputArray; 这其实一个类型声明引用，就是说_InputArray和InputArray是一个意思，然后再次对_InputArray进行转到定义，终于，在opencvbuildincludeopencv2corecore.hpp文件中发现了InputArray的真身：
class CV_EXPORTS _InputArray
{
public:
enum {
KIND_SHIFT = 16,
FIXED_TYPE = 0x8000 << KIND_SHIFT,
FIXED_SIZE = 0x4000 << KIND_SHIFT,
KIND_MASK = ~(FIXED_TYPE|FIXED_SIZE) - (1 << KIND_SHIFT) + 1,
NONE = 0 << KIND_SHIFT,
MAT = 1 << KIND_SHIFT,
MATX = 2 << KIND_SHIFT,
STD_VECTOR = 3 << KIND_SHIFT,
STD_VECTOR_VECTOR = 4 << KIND_SHIFT,
STD_VECTOR_MAT = 5 << KIND_SHIFT,
EXPR = 6 << KIND_SHIFT,
OPENGL_BUFFER = 7 << KIND_SHIFT,
OPENGL_TEXTURE = 8 << KIND_SHIFT,
GPU_MAT = 9 << KIND_SHIFT,
OCL_MAT =10 << KIND_SHIFT
};
_InputArray();
_InputArray(const Mat& m);
_InputArray(const MatExpr& expr);
template<typename _Tp> _InputArray(const _Tp* vec, int n);
template<typename _Tp> _InputArray(const vector<_Tp>& vec);
template<typename _Tp> _InputArray(const vector<vector<_Tp> >& vec);
_InputArray(const vector<Mat>& vec);
template<typename _Tp> _InputArray(const vector<Mat_<_Tp> >& vec);
template<typename _Tp> _InputArray(const Mat_<_Tp>& m);
template<typename _Tp, int m, int n> _InputArray(const Matx<_Tp, m, n>& matx);
_InputArray(const Scalar& s);
_InputArray(const double& val);
// < Deprecated
_InputArray(const GlBuffer& buf);
_InputArray(const GlTexture& tex);
// >
_InputArray(const gpu::GpuMat& d_mat);
_InputArray(const ogl::Buffer& buf);
_InputArray(const ogl::Texture2D& tex);
virtual Mat getMat(int i=-1) const;
virtual void getMatVector(vector<Mat>& mv) const;
// < Deprecated

virtual GlTexture getGlTexture() const;
// >
virtual gpu::GpuMat getGpuMat() const;

virtual int kind() const;
virtual Size size(int i=-1) const;
virtual size_t total(int i=-1) const;
virtual int type(int i=-1) const;
virtual int depth(int i=-1) const;
virtual int channels(int i=-1) const;
virtual bool empty() const;
#ifdef OPENCV_CAN_BREAK_BINARY_COMPATIBILITY
virtual ~_InputArray();

int flags;
void* obj;
Size sz;
};可以看到，_InputArray类的里面首先定义了一个枚举，然后定了各个构造函数和虚函数。很多时候，遇到函数原型中的InputArray类型，我们把它简单地当做Mat类型就行了。
imshow 函数用于在指定的窗口中显示图像。如果窗口是用CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE（默认值）标志创建的，那么显示图像原始大小。否则，将图像进行缩放以适合窗口。而imshow 函数缩放图像，取决于图像的深度：
- 如果载入的图像是8位无符号类型（8-bit unsigned），就显示图像本来的样子。
- 如果图像是16位无符号类型（16-bit unsigned）或32位整型（32-bit integer），便用像素值除以256。也就是说，值的范围是[0,255 x 256]映射到[0,255]。
- 如果图像是32位浮点型（32-bit floating-point），像素值便要乘以255。也就是说，该值的范围是[0,1]映射到[0,255]。
imwrite
功能：输出图像到文件
定义：
bool imwrite( const string& filename, InputArray img,
const vector<int>& params=vector<int>());■ 第一个参数，const string&类型的filename，填需要写入的文件名就行了，带上后缀，比如，“123.jpg”这样。
■ 第二个参数，InputArray类型的img，一般填一个Mat类型的图像数据就行了。
■ 第三个参数，const vector<int>&类型的params，表示为特定格式保存的参数编码，它有默认值vector<int>()，所以一般情况下不需要填写。
cvtcolor
功能：将一个图像的颜色空间转换到另一种（Converts an image from one color space to another.）
参考：cvtcolor
定义：
void cvtColor( InputArray src, OutputArray dst, int code, int dstCn=0 );■ 第一个参数，InputArray类型的src ,-- Source image
■ 第二个参数，OutputArray类型的dst，Destination image of the same size and depth as src
■ 第三个参数，int类型的code，颜色空间变换代码Color space conversion code。
具体的变换代码参见：opencvbuildincludeopencv2imgproctypes_c.h文件中的第87行，枚举类型。
