I am new to OpenCV. I am trying to convert a cv::Mat of Bayer data to BGR. The input data is a 640*480 array of uint8_t. My code looks like this:

cv::Mat video_image;
cv::Mat raw(640, 480, CV_8UC1, frame->buffer.data());
cv::cvtColor(raw, video_image, CV_BayerGB2BGR);
cv::imshow("video", video_image)

BONUS QUESTION: Does the Mat constructor make a deep copy of the input data?

But video_image looks like this:

I have tried CV_8UC3 and setting raw.step to 640*3. What am I missing?

PS: I took a screenshot because the highgui save image button had no apparent effect on the filesystem.

  1. cv::Mat raw(640, 480, CV_8UC1, frame->buffer.data()); i'm unshure about bayer images, but CV_8UC1 would mean, that your input image has 1 channel only(gray). try CV_8UC3 (3 uchar channels) i think, you truncated it
  2. it's rows, cols there, not width height. (yes, happy here to confuse it evey 2nd time, too)
    so : cv::Mat raw(480,640, CV_8UC3, frame->buffer.data());
  3. BONUS: NO, that constructor only copies the pointer and sets up rows/cols and such, no deep copy, so careful with that!!. but you're safe here, since the following cvtColor() WILL alloc new space for the result image. in other situations, when you're using such a constructor with a 'borrowed' pointer you'd want to clone() it

Thanks! I spend hours on this last night. I can't believe it was just rows, cols instead of width, height. CV_8UC1 was right in this case.
