Creating bigger image out of small image Mat [opencv, background subtraction] - c++

Question

I have an image i1. I am supposed to create another Mat m1 of size (image.rows*3, image.cols*3).
In m1, I'm supposed to fill the pixel value in the following way. (Please do see the image):
Here is my code-
#include <highgui.h>
#include "opencv2/opencv.hpp"
#include <fstream>
using namespace cv;
static Mat NeurMap1, NeurMap2, NeurMap3, frame, hsv_Frame;
std::ofstream myfile;
void InitializeNeurMap(cv::Mat Channel[3])
{
int i=0,j=0,m_i=0,m_j=0, t1=0, t2=0;
for(i=0; i < frame.rows; i++)
{
for(j=0;j < frame.cols;j++)
{
t1= i*n+1; t2 = j*n+1;
for(m_i=t1-1; m_i <= t1+1;m_i++)
{
for(m_j=t2-1; m_j <= t2+1; m_j++)
{
NeurMap1.at<uchar>(m_i, m_j)= frame.at<uchar>(i,j);
}
}
}
}
std::cout<<m_j;
myfile<<frame;
}
int main()
{
myfile.open("NeurMaptext.txt");
String filename="BootStrap/b%05d.bmp";// sequence of frames are read
VideoCapture cap(filename);
if(!cap.isOpened()) // check if we succeeded
return -1;
namedWindow("edges",1);
//namedWindow("frames",1);
Mat Channel[3];
cap>>frame;
NeurMap1 = Mat::zeros(frame.rows*n, frame.cols*n, frame.type());
InitializeNeurMap(Channel);
imshow("edges",NeurMap1);waitKey(33);
for(;;)
{
cap>>frame;
if(frame.empty())
break;
}
system("pause");
return 0;
}
The input image is RGB[160*120]. Why am I not getting the columns in the output image given in the link above?.

Answer 1

You can simply call resize() by passing the INTER_NEAREST parameter, i.e. using the nearest-neighbor interpolation.
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
#include <iostream>
using namespace cv;
using namespace std;
int main()
{
unsigned char data[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 };
Mat img(2, 3, CV_8UC1, data);
cout << img << endl;
Mat res(6, 9, CV_8UC1);
resize(img, res, res.size(), 0, 0, INTER_NEAREST);
cout << res << endl;
return 0;
}
You will get:

Answer 2

In you are getting three only one-third of image filled because, probably you are passing 3 channel(colour) image to the function and treat it as a single channel image. So change the above code to,
void InitializeNeurMap(cv::Mat Channel[3])
{
for(int i=0; i < frame.rows; i++){
for(int j=0;j < frame.cols;j++){
for(int k=0;k<n;k++){
for(int l=0;l<n;l++){
NeurMap1.at<Vec3b>(i*n+k,j*n+l)[0] = frame.at<Vec3b>(i,j)[0]; //Access Blue channel
NeurMap1.at<Vec3b>(i*n+k,j*n+l)[1] = frame.at<Vec3b>(i,j)[1];//Access green channel
NeurMap1.at<Vec3b>(i*n+k,j*n+l)[2] = frame.at<Vec3b>(i,j)[2]; //Access red channel
}
}
}
}
myfile<<frame;
}
