Image Container

OpenMVG Image<T> class is a generic image container based on an Eigen aligned row-major matrix of template pixel type T. Images can store grayscale, RGB, RGBA or custom data.

Image<T> provide basic pixel read and write operation.

See examples from openMVG/images/image_test.cpp:

// A 8-bit gray image:
Image<unsigned char> grayscale_image_8bit;

// A 32-bit gray image:
Image<double> grayscale_image_32bit;

// Multichannel image: (use pre-defined pixel type)

// A 8-bit RGB image:
Image<RGBColor> rgb_image_8bit;
Image<Rgb<unsigned char> > rgb_image2_8bit;

// 8-bit RGBA image
Image<RGBAColor> rgba_image_8bit;
Image<Rgba<unsigned char> > rgba_image2_8bit;

// 32 bit RGB image:
Image<Rgb<double> > rgb_image_32bit;

Image I/O

Loading and writing of 8 bits (gray and color) images are supported in the following formats:

  • ppm/pgm,
  • jpeg,
  • png,
  • tiff.

See examples from openMVG/images/image_IO_test.cpp:

// Read a grayscale image (if conversion need, it is done on the fly)
Image<unsigned char> gray_image;
bool bRet = ReadImage("Foo.imgExtension", &gray_image);

// Read a color image
Image<RGBColor> rgb_image_gray;
bool bRet = ReadImage("Foo.imgExtension", &rgb_image);

Drawing operations

The following operations are available:

  • lines,
  • circles,
  • ellipses.

See examples from openMVG/images/image_drawing_test.cpp:

Image<unsigned char> image(10,10);
image.fill(0);

// Pixel access is done as matrix (row, line)
int row = 2;
int column = 4;
image(row, column) = 127;

// Horizontal scanline
DrawLine( 0, 5, w-1, 5, 255, &image);

// Circle of radius 3 and center (5,5)
const int radius = 3;
const int x = 5, y = 5;
DrawCircle(x, y, radius, (unsigned char)255, &image);

// Ellipse of center (5,5) and (3,0
const int radius1 = 3, radius2 = 1, angle = 0;
const int x = 5, y = 5;

DrawEllipse(x, y, radius1, radius2, (unsigned char)255, &image, (double)angle);

// Example with a RGB image
Image<RGBColor> imageRGB(10,10);
DrawCircle(x, y, radius, RGBColor(255,0,0), &imageRGB);
