Hi Nash,

I am newbie in openCV, I saw your website and think it is very interesting.
I am working on this project.
I need your opinion if I want to divide an image into parts like say, divide to 2 parts(pieces) of an image or 4 pieces and etc,

what function should i use in the programming? pls help, thanks.

Nash on Apr 1, 2009:

Hi Deena,
You can use cvSetImageROI to set Region of Interest. See this post for examples:

Deena on Apr 2, 2009:

thanks, i'll try it out..
keep up the good work!

Hi every body. Is there anyone that knows how to auto snapshoot a member while login in a membership webpage? The pict will be save in a distant server in a database (MySql). I am familiar with PHP. Thanks in advance

Came across this site when i was searching for extracting part of an image. Found it very very useful.Thank you

Indhu on Apr 23, 2009:

Hi Nash,
Do you have any example code with cvfIndDominantPoints() ?

Nash on Apr 23, 2009:

Unfortunately I don't have it yet.

Hi Nash,
Great work, the tutes are very helpful. Is there anything on your website that deciphers the IplImage.imageData i.e. how the channels r interconnected and how to filter out/manipulate colors that you chose? Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

Nash on Jun 2, 2009:

To get each channel as a separate image, use cvSplit function. e.g:

IplImage *img = cvLoadImage("ery.jpg", 1);

IplImage *r = cvCreateImage(cvGetSize(img), img->depth, 1);
IplImage *g = cvClone(r);
IplImage *b = cvClone(r);

cvSplit(img, r, g, b, NULL);
Now you have three images for each channel, and you can hack them just like any regular image.

Hayder on Nov 11, 2009:

A Logical Error in ur code:

r = data[i*step + j*nchannels + 0];
g = data[i*step + j*nchannels + 1];
b = data[i*step + j*nchannels + 2];

its basically

b = data[i*step + j*nchannels + 0];
g = data[i*step + j*nchannels + 1];
r = data[i*step + j*nchannels + 2];

Simple BUT Logical

That's a great of work, thank you million time.

Nikhil on Jun 8, 2010:

HI
i am working on open CV.
i need to access images from a remote databases.
how to code it down.

Nash on Jun 9, 2010:

Use libcurl to fetch the images from an HTTP server.
