How to pass values to main function (vs2015,opencv,c++)

edit

Just an addition: the arguments passed this way will only be usable during the chosen configuration (in the screenshot, Debug). Duplicate your arguments to the other configuratio (Release), o write them down for "all" configurations

do u mean i have to copy the path of the image to be read in the field 'command arguments' in both debug and release??? i have tried this, its not reading the image....

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
   {
    cout << endl << argv[0] << endl; 
    Mat image;
if (argc>1)
    image = imread(argv[1]);
else
{
    cout << "    Usage: " << argv[0] << " <input_image> [<gt_word1> ... <gt_wordN>]" << endl;
    return(0);
}

cout << "IMG_W=" << image.cols << endl;
cout << "IMG_H=" << image.rows<<endl;

}

output is :

C:\Users\research lab\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\XtraModulesDemo\Debug\XtraModulesDemo.exe

IMG_W=0 IMG_H=0 OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (scn == 3 || scn == 4) in cv::ipp_cvtColor, file C:\opencv3.1\sources\modules\imgproc\src\color.cpp, line 7456

Does the program crash before the first cout?

if not, what does the program think the values of argc and argv[1] are?

"C:\Users\research lab\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\XtraModulesDemo\Debug\XtraModulesDemo.exe " this is the value of argv[1]..

Don't pass the path to the executable as argument. Visual Studio already handles this. You need to directly pass the image full path as first argument

okii got ur point.. thanx alot... i was passing the path of the image only.. but the issue was that in the path a space was there like 'research lab' so it was taking argv[1] upto research only..
