Casting between Qt and OpenCV primitives

OpenCV & QT
OpenCV & QT.

As a follow-up to the previous post, I’d like to present some code which I think might be helpful for other Qt / OpenCV projects as well.

This code was written for Pastie. Pastie is a piece of software I wrote as part my image processing seminar. It makes use of the well known libraries:

  • Qt for the graphical user interface
  • OpenCV for image processing and computer vision

I wrote a C++ header file to facilitate the co-operation of those two libraries. This file enables the conversion / casting of OpenCV and Qt types e.g.:

#include <QImage>
#include <cv/core.hpp>
QImage qimg("filename.png");
cv::Mat cvimg = toCv(qimg);

The source code is available at Codeberg: /stv0g/snippets/c/qcv_cast.h .

The following conversions are supported:

QImagecv::Mat
QTransformcv::Mat
QPointcv::Point2i
QPointFcv::Point2f
QRectcv::Rect2i
QRectFcv::Rect2f
QSizecv::Size

You can find some examples in the real code here: /stv0g/pastie/filters/pattern.cpp and here /stv0g/pastie/cast.h .
