I am new to openCV, I am trying to implement Grabcut. This is the Grabcut example code provided by openCV is samples (same as the one in OpenCV Github repo). However, if you run this code you will get the output in the same window as the input and the output image cannot be saved for post processing.
Consider the code snippet below.
void GCApplication::showImage() const
{
if( image->empty() || winName->empty() )
return;
Mat res;
Mat binMask;
if( !isInitialized )
image->copyTo( res );
else
{
getBinMask( mask, binMask );
image->copyTo( res, binMask );
}
vector<Point>::const_iterator it;
for( it = bgdPxls.begin(); it != bgdPxls.end(); ++it )
circle( res, *it, radius, BLUE, thickness );
for( it = fgdPxls.begin(); it != fgdPxls.end(); ++it )
circle( res, *it, radius, RED, thickness );
for( it = prBgdPxls.begin(); it != prBgdPxls.end(); ++it )
circle( res, *it, radius, LIGHTBLUE, thickness );
for( it = prFgdPxls.begin(); it != prFgdPxls.end(); ++it )
circle( res, *it, radius, PINK, thickness );
if( rectState == IN_PROCESS || rectState == SET )
rectangle( res, Point( rect.x, rect.y ), Point(rect.x + rect.width, rect.y + rect.height ), GREEN, 2);
imshow( *winName, res );
}
I have done the following changes for the function showImage() to return the output image, but it shows an error. How can we use imwrite to save the final output after all iterations, as the function calls are intricate and res keeps on changing. Please help!
cv::Mat& GCApplication::showImage()
{
if( image->empty() || winName->empty() )
return;
Mat res;
Mat binMask;
Mat output;
if( !isInitialized )
image->copyTo( res );
else
{
getBinMask( mask, binMask );
image->copyTo( res, binMask );
res.copyTo(output);
return output;
}
vector<Point>::const_iterator it;
for( it = bgdPxls.begin(); it != bgdPxls.end(); ++it )
circle( res, *it, radius, BLUE, thickness );
for( it = fgdPxls.begin(); it != fgdPxls.end(); ++it )
circle( res, *it, radius, RED, thickness );
for( it = prBgdPxls.begin(); it != prBgdPxls.end(); ++it )
circle( res, *it, radius, LIGHTBLUE, thickness );
for( it = prFgdPxls.begin(); it != prFgdPxls.end(); ++it )
circle( res, *it, radius, PINK, thickness );
if( rectState == IN_PROCESS || rectState == SET )
rectangle( res, Point( rect.x, rect.y ), Point(rect.x + rect.width, rect.y + rect.height ), GREEN, 2);
imshow( *winName, res );
}

Answer 1

You can simply add the following line after the imshow( *winName, res );
cv::imwrite("/Users/path/to/folder/debug.png", res);
Make sure that the path /Users/path/to/folder/ exists.
You were trying to return from a void function, which is not legit, either you can take this shortcut for debugging the image or if you really want to return Mat then you need to change the signature of methods as well.
