I am programing some image conversion code with OpenCV and I don't know how can I create image memory buffer to load image on every iteration. I have number of iteration (maxImNumber) and I have an input image. In every loop program must create image that is resized and modified input image. Here is some basic code (concept). for (int imageIndex = 0; imageIndex < maxImNumber; imageIndex++){ cvCopy(inputImage, images[imageIndex], 0); cvReleaseImage(&inputImage); images[imageIndex+1] = cvCreateImage(cvSize((image[imageIndex]->width)/2, image[imageIndex]->height), IPL_DEPTH_8U, 1); for (i=1; i < image[imageIndex]->height; i++) { index = 0; // for(j=0; j < image[imageIndex]->width ; j=j+2){ // doing some basic matematical operation on image content and store it to new image images[imageIndex+1][i][index] = (image[imageIndex][i][j] + image[imageIndex][i][j+2])/2; index++ } } inputImage = cvCreateImage(cvSize((image[imageIndex+1]->width), image[imageIndex]->height), IPL_DEPTH_8U, 1); cvCopy(images[imageIndex+1], inputImage, 0); } Can somebody, please, explain how can I create this image buffer (images[]) and allocate memory for it. Also how can I access any image in this buffer? Thank you very much in advance!
