Application crashes on equalizeHist of OpenCV - c++

My MFC app runs various API from OpenCV2. Everything else is working fine. But when my program runs
cv::Mat result;
cv::equalizeHist(m_cvImage,result);
I get following runtime exception.
Unhandled exception at 0x7727fbae in OpenCVTest.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: cv::Exception at memory location 0x0029e944..
"C:\slave\WinInstallerMegaPack\src\opencv\modules\imgproc\src\histogram.cpp:2430: error: (-215) CV_ARE_SIZES_EQ(src, dst) && CV_ARE_TYPES_EQ(src, dst) && CV_MAT_TYPE(src->type) == CV_8UC1"
According to debugger, the exception was thrown in the middle of processing (about 40%) the image in equalizeHist. Is there anything I need to do? FYI: I am using binary OpenCV provided by its web site.
UPDATE:
I've resolved this issue by converting images to gray-level before equalizing it. I just didn't know
the function only works with gray-level image
images that look like gray-level can be non-gray.

I imagine the problem you are encountering is that m_cvImage is a 3-channel image. So, you need to convert it to a grayscale image before you can call equalizeHist.
cvtColor(m_cvImage, m_cvImage, CV_BGR2GRAY);
cv::Mat result;
cv::equalizeHist(m_cvImage, result);
Also, have a look at the EqualizeHist_Demo.cpp tutorial sample to see how it is used.

Opencv cv::Subtract method throwing System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException Exception

I am currently trying to implement the Lucy Richardson algorithm in Opencv, when it comes to running the 'cv::subtract' method in my program it throws an InteropServices exception (stack trace below)
************** Exception Text **************
System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException (0x80004005): External has thrown an exception.
at cv.Mat.=(Mat* , MatExpr* expr) in e:\opencv\opencv\build\include\opencv2\core\mat.inl.hpp:line 3107
at LucyRichardson.LucyRich(LucyRichardson* , Mat* , basic_string<char\,std::char_traits<char>\,std::allocator<char> >* imagePath) in e:\documents\development\realtimeimageprocessing\imageprocessing\imageprocessing\lucyrichardson.cpp:line 63
Below is the block of code where the error occurs, it is thrown on the second line.
im_correction = cv::Mat (cvSize(383, 357), 8, 1);
cv::subtract(im, im_conv_kernel, im_correction);
cv::namedWindow("Sub");
cv::imshow("Sub", im_correction);
The variables im and im_conv_kernel are both of type cv::Mat and are correctly populated and the variable im_correction I have tried creating a version of before I save the result of the subtraction in.
I am using cv::subtractions fine in other parts of the program.
Does anyone know why this error occurs and how I could fix it? Or if there is a different method I could try for the subtraction?
I have worked out where the problem was I needed to make sure all of the images where of the same type. - After adding the below three lines before performing the subtract it worked fine.
im.convertTo(im, CV_8UC1);
im_conv_kernel.convertTo(im_conv_kernel, CV_8UC1);
im_correction.convertTo(im_correction, CV_8UC1);

why this code is crashing on cvtColor?

I have this code:
void * imageBuffer = reinterpret_cast<void *>(exposureBuffer + imageHeader->imgoffset);
cv::Mat imageRaw(imageHeader->height, imageHeader->width, CV_8UC1, imageBuffer);
cv::Mat imageColour;
cv::cvtColor(imageRaw, imageColour, cv::COLOR_BayerGR2BGR);
when I run this and stops debugger on this line:
cv::Mat imageColour;
I can see that imageRaw has a valid image in it (I can see the image in image view and it is a valid image.)
but then the application crashes on this line:
cv::cvtColor(imageRaw, imageColour, cv::COLOR_BayerGR2BGR);
and it seems that a mat file was created but not enough memory allocated for it.
The error message is:
Unhandled exception at 0x00007FF7503F992B in test_PictureProcessing.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000023.
I am using OpenCv 3. I have similar code which runs successfully on openCV 2.
Edit1
I changed the code to this one to make sure that imagebuffer is a valid buffer and the fact that I am not initializing imageColour is not the problem:
void *imageBuffer = new char[imageHeader->height* imageHeader->width];
cv::Mat imageRaw(imageHeader->height, imageHeader->width, CV_8UC1, imageBuffer);
cv::Mat imageColour = imageRaw.clone();
but I am still getting error on this line:
cv::Mat imageColour = imageRaw.clone();
Edit 2
This is also crashing!
cv::Mat imageRaw(imageHeader->height, imageHeader->width, CV_8UC1);
cv::Mat imageColour = imageRaw.clone();
Why this simple code crashing?
I found the problem which is very strange!
I forgot to include opencv.hpp to my source file after adding it, it worked perfectly.
It is strange as I did not get any compile error, but I got run time error.
If you see your openCV behave strangely, make sure that you included opencv.hpp to your source code. it may help you to solve your problem! Not all problems are coming from missing this header as CroCo mentioned.

OpenCV imwrite params read access violation

A very simple question...why am I getting a read access violation error with this code?
cv::Mat laserSpeckle = Mat::zeros(100,100,CV_8UC1);
imwrite( "C://testimage.jpg", laserSpeckle );
When i attach a debugger and look into it further, it throws the exception at this snippet in grfmt.cpp.
if( params[i] == CV_IMWRITE_JPEG_QUALITY )
{
quality = params[i+1];
quality = MIN(MAX(quality, 0), 100);
}
It occurs with .png and .tiff too. Im an OpenCV newbie, my apologies if this is something really simple. I am using Qt for what its worth.
Do you build OpenCV yourself? If yes, make sure that the option WITH_JPEG is enabled when you configure your build files:
cmake ... -DWITH_JPEG=ON ...
If you want to save image with alpha channel you should use png format. It is described here
It should work with bmp format:
cv::Mat laserSpeckle = cv::Mat::zeros(100,100,CV_8UC1);
cv::imwrite( "C://testimage.bmp", laserSpeckle );
Your code also works on my computer. However, it seems that on some systems it works only for bmp images. I saw similar issues reported here and here.
The problem is with the debugger version (x64) if you build the code using the release version (x64) it works fine for me.
In my case c++ Code Generation settings were wrong
Should have been Multithreaded DEBUG dll MD

error retrieving background image from BackgroundSubtractorMOG2

I'm trying to get the background image from BackgroundSubtractorMOG2:
bg->getBackgroundImage(back);
but I get a Thread 1 SIGABRT (which as a c++ n00b puzzles me)
and this error:
OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (nchannels == 3) in getBackgroundImage, file /Users/hm/Downloads/OpenCV-2.4.4/modules/video/src/bgfg_gaussmix2.cpp, line 579
libc++abi.dylib: terminate called throwing an exception
(lldb)
I'm not sure what the problem is, suspecting it's something to do with the nmixtures paramater, but I've left that as the default(3). Any hints ?
It looks like you need to use 3 channel images rather than grayscale. Make sure the image type you are using is CV_8UC3 or if you are reading from a file use cv::imread('path/to/file') with no additional arguments.

Opencv cvThreshold bug

Hello I don t know if I am doing something wrong or not but when I do the following:
IplImage *testimage;
testimage = cvCreateImage(cvSize(10,10),IPL_DEPTH_8U,1);
cvThreshold(testimage,testimage,127,127,CV_THRESH_TRUNC);
everything works fine then when I try to use unsigned short values:
IplImage *testimage;
testimage = cvCreateImage(cvSize(10,10),IPL_DEPTH_16U,1);
cvThreshold(testimage,testimage,127,127,CV_THRESH_TRUNC);
my program crashes... I use opencv 2.4.2 I think this could maybe be a bug in opencv.
Somehow if I try the following:
IplImage *testimage;
testimage = cvCreateImage(cvSize(10,10),IPL_DEPTH_16S,1);
cvThreshold(testimage,testimage,127,127,CV_THRESH_TRUNC);
it doesn t crash anymore
It is not crashing. It is throwing an exception and since you are not catching it, your program is aborting.
OpenCV Thresholding does not support 16U.
The supported ones are: 8U, 16S and 32F
See the OpenCV documentation for function threshold. The first parameter is 8 or 32 bit image
P.S. In crash message you should see the reason for crashing
