Hello forum,
I would like to crop out a part of my image using
Mat crop = frame(_rectangle);
The problem is, I get an error when _rectangle is out of bounds of my 1920 x 1080 frame. Is there a simple function that I could use to just crop out the section where the Rect and the Mat intersects ? I could write my own function for it but it would be simpler if opencv has a built-in function to resolve the out of bounds issue.
Your rectangle is getting out of the image, maybe with one pixel, and that is the problem. I had the same case many times. I have solved it by adding a line like this:
cv::Rect roi = _rectangle & cv::Rect(0, 0, image.width, image.height);
and then add your line:
Mat crop = frame(roi);
If you would like not to create another Rect, then just update the existing one:
_rectangle = _rectangle & cv::Rect(0, 0, image.width, image.height);
I also wonder if this should be an implicit thing in the ROI function or not...
Imagine that your algorithm of detection of the Rect has a bug and it is computing it in a wrong case (like 2 times bigger, or shifted, or something else), and then you are getting always wrong results and you are concluding that the approach is bad or that OpenCV is not correct, or I don't know. I find this as a plus. Even if in the case of some problems because the approximations, you are getting a pixel more, that is getting out of the image...
"I also wonder if this should be an implicit thing in the ROI function or not... "
getRectSubPix might be an alternative then.
