Hello expert ! I'm a newbie.. Can anyone of you help me how to set region of interest(ROI) of an opening image?? I'm still learning opencv by myself from internet wthout any guidance from my lecturer..so stress trying to learn something new without any help..But Im not give up !!!

Actually I want to set a ROI on a wounded skin. Let say I open an image, then I want to set ROI in that image.. My ROI is in wounded area. Here is what Im trying. But there is no ROI..it just open the image.Can anyone of you help me please??

#include <opencv\cv.h>
#include <opencv\highgui.h>

using namespace cv;

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  int key = 0;
  IplImage* img = cvLoadImage( "C:\\Users\\acer\\Documents\\Visual Studio        
  2012\\Projects\\o1.jpg" ); 
  cvNamedWindow( "Example1", CV_WINDOW_NORMAL );
  cvShowImage("Example1", img);
  cvWaitKey(0);
  cvReleaseImage( &img );
  cvDestroyWindow( "Example1" );

  /* sets the Region of Interest*/
  cvSetImageROI(img, cvRect(150, 50, 150, 250));

  return 0;
  }

here example of the wounded image that i want to set ROI

hi Nate, simple answer, - you have to set the roi before calling cvShowImage.

besides that , 2 remarks:

next time, please add the actual code, not a screenshot (will make it easier for others to try/modify it)
if you're just starting with opencv (and thus don't have a ton a of legacy code to support), please avoid the old c-api, support for that is fading quickly, please move over to c++ asap.

so, the more modern version of your code would be like this:

#include "opencv2/core/core.hpp"
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
using namespace cv;

int main() 
{
    namedWindow("Example1");
    Mat img = imread("a:/very/long/path/to/o1.jpg");
    if ( img.empty() ) { /* bark!!*/ }
    Mat roi = img( Rect(150,50,150,250) );
    imshow("Example1",roi);
    waitKey(0);
    return 0; // yea, c++, no cleanup nessecary!
}

".But Im not give up !!!" - ;) yea.

Thank you so much -berak- :) sorry my bad. I already edit it..thanks for the reminder.

may ask you, what if my interest of region(ROI) exactly only on that wounded area, so what is the coding..how to do that?? Is it possible to point out my desired ROI point by point?? not in a rectangular shape..did you understand my question?

Thank you bro :)

hey, no prob at all.

by nature, a ROI is a rectangle. what you probably wanted is to find the outline of the wounded region (baa, can't stare at the pic too long ;)

things get a bit more complicated here, you'll have to:

convert the img to grayscale
threshold it to a binary image
use findContours to get the actual outline

see it as assignment #2, try as good as you can, if you get really stuck, come back with a new question.

also, the docs are your friend !
