Hello everyone, I'm trying now for about three days to solve the following problem. I Just want to read a binary file with Java and put all the values to an Opencv-Mat-Objekt. I know that all the datavalues in my input-image are greyvalues from 0-65k. My code looks like:

    byte[] rawFile = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("a.raw"));

// header is cut off, only date in file left
byte[] data = Arrays.copyOfRange(rawFile, 2048, rawFile.length);

// bytearray --> char array (16bit unsigned)
CharBuffer cBuf = ByteBuffer.wrap(data).order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN)
            .asCharBuffer();
char[] cArray = new char[cBuf.remaining()];
cBuf.get(cArray);

int[] finalData = new int[cArray.length];
// cast  all char values to int-values
for (int i = 0; i < cArray.length; i++) {
   finalData[i] = (int) cArray[i];
    }

So far so good. My values look good in the finalData-Array. But whem I'm tryin to put it in an OpenCv-Mat-Object, the matrix is emtpy. I add the finalData-array like this to the matrix:

    Mat img16u = new Mat();
    img16u.create(raw.getWidth(), raw.getHeight(), CvType.makeType(CvType.CV_32SC1, 1));
    img16u.put(0, 0, finalData);

But I'm not sure if the CvType is right or not.

Maybe someone has any Idea how to solve this.

Regards, reem

  • if you want a 16bit mat, use CvType.CV_16SC1 or CvType.CV_16UC1
  • imho, you want (unsigned) short[], not char[] (same size, yet different semantics)
  • don't copy it to an int[] array if you want 16 bits
  • Mat.create(rows,cols,type); // you got w/h wrong

but if I do it like this, I get an empty map:

Mat imgMat = Highgui.imread("a.raw",0); imgMat.convertTo(imgMat, CvType.CV_16UC1); System.out.println(imgMat.size());

And I can't jump over the header

imread can't read .raw files, so it returns an empty Mat

that's why I was reading it first in an byte-array. than I convert it to an int-array. the values of the int-array are right. all I want to do is to put my int-array to the matrix.

is this not possible? I rewrite a python script wich do exactly the same.

f = open( filename, 'rb' )

f.seek( raw.headerlen )

data = np.fromstring( f.read(), dtype=np.uint16 )

f.close()

img = cv.CreateMat( raw.width, raw.height, cv.CV_16UC1 )

cv.SetData( img, data )

oh, python's (outdated) cv api is using the old c'ish CvMat and IplImage. (it will be gone in the next version, so use cv2 in python instead)

not the same as cv::Mat (which is wrapped in java)

Sorry I really dont get it. Why is my matrix empty?

Mat.put(0,0,myArray)

-->returns an empty map and I really don't know why. I debugged it and everything seems ok.

I found the solution as following:

  • matrix was emtpy because the value of the cols wasn't set
  • The transformation of an 16 bit - raw file with 0-65k greyvalues into a 24bit - RGB JPEG works fine

If someone has any idea how I could manage the in-reading of an 16 bit unsigned int into java without using an char-Array, please tell me. The transformation is done with the following code:

img16u.convertTo(imgtmp, CvType.CV_8UC3, (double) 255.0
            / (maxVal - minVal), (double) -minVal * 255.
            / (maxVal - minVal));
