◆ DecompTypes

#include <opencv2/core/base.hpp>

matrix decomposition types

Enumerator
DECOMP_LU 
Python: cv.DECOMP_LU

Gaussian elimination with the optimal pivot element chosen.

DECOMP_SVD 
Python: cv.DECOMP_SVD

singular value decomposition (SVD) method; the system can be over-defined and/or the matrix src1 can be singular

DECOMP_EIG 
Python: cv.DECOMP_EIG

eigenvalue decomposition; the matrix src1 must be symmetrical

DECOMP_CHOLESKY 
Python: cv.DECOMP_CHOLESKY

Cholesky \(LL^T\) factorization; the matrix src1 must be symmetrical and positively defined

while all the previous flags are mutually exclusive, this flag can be used together with any of the previous; it means that the normal equations \(\texttt{src1}^T\cdot\texttt{src1}\cdot\texttt{dst}=\texttt{src1}^T\texttt{src2}\) are solved instead of the original system \(\texttt{src1}\cdot\texttt{dst}=\texttt{src2}\)

◆ DftFlags

#include <opencv2/core/base.hpp>

Enumerator
DFT_INVERSE 
Python: cv.DFT_INVERSE

performs an inverse 1D or 2D transform instead of the default forward transform.

DFT_SCALE 
Python: cv.DFT_SCALE

scales the result: divide it by the number of array elements. Normally, it is combined with DFT_INVERSE.

DFT_ROWS 
Python: cv.DFT_ROWS

performs a forward or inverse transform of every individual row of the input matrix; this flag enables you to transform multiple vectors simultaneously and can be used to decrease the overhead (which is sometimes several times larger than the processing itself) to perform 3D and higher-dimensional transformations and so forth.

DFT_COMPLEX_OUTPUT 
Python: cv.DFT_COMPLEX_OUTPUT

performs a forward transformation of 1D or 2D real array; the result, though being a complex array, has complex-conjugate symmetry (CCS, see the function description below for details), and such an array can be packed into a real array of the same size as input, which is the fastest option and which is what the function does by default; however, you may wish to get a full complex array (for simpler spectrum analysis, and so on) - pass the flag to enable the function to produce a full-size complex output array.

DFT_REAL_OUTPUT 
Python: cv.DFT_REAL_OUTPUT

performs an inverse transformation of a 1D or 2D complex array; the result is normally a complex array of the same size, however, if the input array has conjugate-complex symmetry (for example, it is a result of forward transformation with DFT_COMPLEX_OUTPUT flag), the output is a real array; while the function itself does not check whether the input is symmetrical or not, you can pass the flag and then the function will assume the symmetry and produce the real output array (note that when the input is packed into a real array and inverse transformation is executed, the function treats the input as a packed complex-conjugate symmetrical array, and the output will also be a real array).

DFT_COMPLEX_INPUT 
Python: cv.DFT_COMPLEX_INPUT

specifies that input is complex input. If this flag is set, the input must have 2 channels. On the other hand, for backwards compatibility reason, if input has 2 channels, input is already considered complex.

DCT_INVERSE 
Python: cv.DCT_INVERSE

performs an inverse 1D or 2D transform instead of the default forward transform.

DCT_ROWS 
Python: cv.DCT_ROWS

performs a forward or inverse transform of every individual row of the input matrix. This flag enables you to transform multiple vectors simultaneously and can be used to decrease the overhead (which is sometimes several times larger than the processing itself) to perform 3D and higher-dimensional transforms and so forth.

◆ absdiff()

void cv::absdiff ( InputArray  src1,
InputArray  src2,
OutputArray  dst 
)
Python:
cv.absdiff(src1, src2[, dst]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Calculates the per-element absolute difference between two arrays or between an array and a scalar.

The function cv::absdiff calculates: Absolute difference between two arrays when they have the same size and type:

\[\texttt{dst}(I) = \texttt{saturate} (| \texttt{src1}(I) - \texttt{src2}(I)|)\]

Absolute difference between an array and a scalar when the second array is constructed from Scalar or has as many elements as the number of channels in src1:

\[\texttt{dst}(I) = \texttt{saturate} (| \texttt{src1}(I) - \texttt{src2} |)\]

Absolute difference between a scalar and an array when the first array is constructed from Scalar or has as many elements as the number of channels in src2:

\[\texttt{dst}(I) = \texttt{saturate} (| \texttt{src1} - \texttt{src2}(I) |)\]

where I is a multi-dimensional index of array elements. In case of multi-channel arrays, each channel is processed independently.

Note
Saturation is not applied when the arrays have the depth CV_32S. You may even get a negative value in the case of overflow.
Parameters
src1first input array or a scalar.
src2second input array or a scalar.
dstoutput array that has the same size and type as input arrays.

◆ add()

void cv::add ( InputArray  src1,
InputArray  src2,
OutputArray  dst,
InputArray  mask = noArray(),
int  dtype = -1 
)
Python:
cv.add(src1, src2[, dst[, mask[, dtype]]]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Calculates the per-element sum of two arrays or an array and a scalar.

The function add calculates:

  • Sum of two arrays when both input arrays have the same size and the same number of channels:

    \[\texttt{dst}(I) = \texttt{saturate} ( \texttt{src1}(I) + \texttt{src2}(I)) \quad \texttt{if mask}(I) \ne0\]

  • Sum of an array and a scalar when src2 is constructed from Scalar or has the same number of elements as src1.channels():

    \[\texttt{dst}(I) = \texttt{saturate} ( \texttt{src1}(I) + \texttt{src2} ) \quad \texttt{if mask}(I) \ne0\]

  • Sum of a scalar and an array when src1 is constructed from Scalar or has the same number of elements as src2.channels():

    \[\texttt{dst}(I) = \texttt{saturate} ( \texttt{src1} + \texttt{src2}(I) ) \quad \texttt{if mask}(I) \ne0\]

    where I is a multi-dimensional index of array elements. In case of multi-channel arrays, each channel is processed independently.

The first function in the list above can be replaced with matrix expressions:

dst = src1 + src2;
dst += src1; // equivalent to add(dst, src1, dst);

The input arrays and the output array can all have the same or different depths. For example, you can add a 16-bit unsigned array to a 8-bit signed array and store the sum as a 32-bit floating-point array. Depth of the output array is determined by the dtype parameter. In the second and third cases above, as well as in the first case, when src1.depth() == src2.depth(), dtype can be set to the default -1. In this case, the output array will have the same depth as the input array, be it src1, src2 or both.

Note
Saturation is not applied when the output array has the depth CV_32S. You may even get result of an incorrect sign in the case of overflow.
Parameters
src1first input array or a scalar.
src2second input array or a scalar.
dstoutput array that has the same size and number of channels as the input array(s); the depth is defined by dtype or src1/src2.
maskoptional operation mask - 8-bit single channel array, that specifies elements of the output array to be changed.
dtypeoptional depth of the output array (see the discussion below).

where I is a multi-dimensional index of array elements. In case of multi-channel arrays, each channel is processed independently. The function can be replaced with a matrix expression:

dst = src1*alpha + src2*beta + gamma;
Note
Saturation is not applied when the output array has the depth CV_32S. You may even get result of an incorrect sign in the case of overflow.

int  len,
int  borderType 
)
Python:
cv.borderInterpolate(p, len, borderType) -> retval

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Computes the source location of an extrapolated pixel.

The function computes and returns the coordinate of a donor pixel corresponding to the specified extrapolated pixel when using the specified extrapolation border mode. For example, if you use cv::BORDER_WRAP mode in the horizontal direction, cv::BORDER_REFLECT_101 in the vertical direction and want to compute value of the "virtual" pixel Point(-5, 100) in a floating-point image img , it looks like:

float val = img.at<float>(borderInterpolate(100, img.rows, cv::BORDER_REFLECT_101),

◆ checkRange()

bool cv::checkRange ( InputArray  a,
bool  quiet = true,
Point pos = 0,
double  minVal = -DBL_MAX,

)
Python:
cv.checkRange(a[, quiet[, minVal[, maxVal]]]) -> retval, pos

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Checks every element of an input array for invalid values.

The function cv::checkRange checks that every array element is neither NaN nor infinite. When minVal > -DBL_MAX and maxVal < DBL_MAX, the function also checks that each value is between minVal and maxVal. In case of multi-channel arrays, each channel is processed independently. If some values are out of range, position of the first outlier is stored in pos (when pos != NULL). Then, the function either returns false (when quiet=true) or throws an exception.

Parameters
ainput array.
quieta flag, indicating whether the functions quietly return false when the array elements are out of range or they throw an exception.
posoptional output parameter, when not NULL, must be a pointer to array of src.dims elements.

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Performs the per-element comparison of two arrays or an array and scalar value.

The function compares: Elements of two arrays when src1 and src2 have the same size:

\[\texttt{dst} (I) = \texttt{src1} (I) \,\texttt{cmpop}\, \texttt{src2} (I)\]

Elements of src1 with a scalar src2 when src2 is constructed from Scalar or has a single element:

\[\texttt{dst} (I) = \texttt{src1}(I) \,\texttt{cmpop}\, \texttt{src2}\]

src1 with elements of src2 when src1 is constructed from Scalar or has a single element:

\[\texttt{dst} (I) = \texttt{src1} \,\texttt{cmpop}\, \texttt{src2} (I)\]

When the comparison result is true, the corresponding element of output array is set to 255. The comparison operations can be replaced with the equivalent matrix expressions:

Mat dst1 = src1 >= src2;
Mat dst2 = src1 < 8;
...
Parameters

)
Python:
cv.completeSymm(m[, lowerToUpper]) -> m

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Copies the lower or the upper half of a square matrix to its another half.

◆ convertFp16()

void cv::convertFp16 ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst 
)
Python:
cv.convertFp16(src[, dst]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Converts an array to half precision floating number.

This function converts FP32 (single precision floating point) from/to FP16 (half precision floating point). CV_16S format is used to represent FP16 data. There are two use modes (src -> dst): CV_32F -> CV_16S and CV_16S -> CV_32F. The input array has to have type of CV_32F or CV_16S to represent the bit depth. If the input array is neither of them, the function will raise an error. The format of half precision floating point is defined in IEEE 754-2008.

Parameters
srcinput array.
dstoutput array.

◆ convertScaleAbs()

void cv::convertScaleAbs ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst,
double  alpha = 1,
double  beta = 0 
)
Python:
cv.convertScaleAbs(src[, dst[, alpha[, beta]]]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Scales, calculates absolute values, and converts the result to 8-bit.

On each element of the input array, the function convertScaleAbs performs three operations sequentially: scaling, taking an absolute value, conversion to an unsigned 8-bit type:

\[\texttt{dst} (I)= \texttt{saturate\_cast<uchar>} (| \texttt{src} (I)* \texttt{alpha} + \texttt{beta} |)\]

In case of multi-channel arrays, the function processes each channel independently. When the output is not 8-bit, the operation can be emulated by calling the Mat::convertTo method (or by using matrix expressions) and then by calculating an absolute value of the result. For example:

Mat_<float> A(30,30);
randu(A, Scalar(-100), Scalar(100));
Mat_<float> B = A*5 + 3;
B = abs(B);
// Mat_<float> B = abs(A*5+3) will also do the job,
// but it will allocate a temporary matrix
Parameters
srcinput array.
dstoutput array.
alphaoptional scale factor.
betaoptional delta added to the scaled values.

◆ copyMakeBorder()

void cv::copyMakeBorder ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst,
int  top,
int  bottom,
int  left,
int  right,
int  borderType,
const Scalar value = Scalar() 
)
Python:
cv.copyMakeBorder(src, top, bottom, left, right, borderType[, dst[, value]]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Forms a border around an image.

The function copies the source image into the middle of the destination image. The areas to the left, to the right, above and below the copied source image will be filled with extrapolated pixels. This is not what filtering functions based on it do (they extrapolate pixels on-fly), but what other more complex functions, including your own, may do to simplify image boundary handling.

The function supports the mode when src is already in the middle of dst . In this case, the function does not copy src itself but simply constructs the border, for example:

// let border be the same in all directions
int border=2;
// constructs a larger image to fit both the image and the border
Mat gray_buf(rgb.rows + border*2, rgb.cols + border*2, rgb.depth());
// select the middle part of it w/o copying data
Mat gray(gray_canvas, Rect(border, border, rgb.cols, rgb.rows));
// convert image from RGB to grayscale
// form a border in-place
copyMakeBorder(gray, gray_buf, border, border,
border, border, BORDER_REPLICATE);
// now do some custom filtering ...
...
Note
When the source image is a part (ROI) of a bigger image, the function will try to use the pixels outside of the ROI to form a border. To disable this feature and always do extrapolation, as if src was not a ROI, use borderType | BORDER_ISOLATED.
Parameters
srcSource image.
dstDestination image of the same type as src and the size Size(src.cols+left+right, src.rows+top+bottom) .
topthe top pixels
bottomthe bottom pixels
leftthe left pixels
rightParameter specifying how many pixels in each direction from the source image rectangle to extrapolate. For example, top=1, bottom=1, left=1, right=1 mean that 1 pixel-wide border needs to be built.
borderTypeBorder type. See borderInterpolate for details.
valueBorder value if borderType==BORDER_CONSTANT .

\[\sum _{I: \; \texttt{src} (I) \ne0 } 1\]

Parameters

◆ dct()

void cv::dct ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst,
int  flags = 0 
)
Python:
cv.dct(src[, dst[, flags]]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Performs a forward or inverse discrete Cosine transform of 1D or 2D array.

The function cv::dct performs a forward or inverse discrete Cosine transform (DCT) of a 1D or 2D floating-point array:

  • Forward Cosine transform of a 1D vector of N elements:

    \[Y = C^{(N)} \cdot X\]

    where

    \[C^{(N)}_{jk}= \sqrt{\alpha_j/N} \cos \left ( \frac{\pi(2k+1)j}{2N} \right )\]

    and \(\alpha_0=1\), \(\alpha_j=2\) for j > 0.
  • Inverse Cosine transform of a 1D vector of N elements:

    \[X = \left (C^{(N)} \right )^{-1} \cdot Y = \left (C^{(N)} \right )^T \cdot Y\]

    (since \(C^{(N)}\) is an orthogonal matrix, \(C^{(N)} \cdot \left(C^{(N)}\right)^T = I\) )
  • Forward 2D Cosine transform of M x N matrix:

    \[Y = C^{(N)} \cdot X \cdot \left (C^{(N)} \right )^T\]

  • Inverse 2D Cosine transform of M x N matrix:

    \[X = \left (C^{(N)} \right )^T \cdot X \cdot C^{(N)}\]

The function chooses the mode of operation by looking at the flags and size of the input array:

  • If (flags & DCT_INVERSE) == 0 , the function does a forward 1D or 2D transform. Otherwise, it is an inverse 1D or 2D transform.
  • If (flags & DCT_ROWS) != 0 , the function performs a 1D transform of each row.
  • If the array is a single column or a single row, the function performs a 1D transform.
  • If none of the above is true, the function performs a 2D transform.
Note
Currently dct supports even-size arrays (2, 4, 6 ...). For data analysis and approximation, you can pad the array when necessary. Also, the function performance depends very much, and not monotonically, on the array size (see getOptimalDFTSize ). In the current implementation DCT of a vector of size N is calculated via DFT of a vector of size N/2 . Thus, the optimal DCT size N1 >= N can be calculated as:
size_t getOptimalDCTSize(size_t N) { return 2*getOptimalDFTSize((N+1)/2); }
N1 = getOptimalDCTSize(N);
Parameters

◆ determinant()

double cv::determinant ( InputArray  mtx)
Python:
cv.determinant(mtx) -> retval

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Returns the determinant of a square floating-point matrix.

The function cv::determinant calculates and returns the determinant of the specified matrix. For small matrices ( mtx.cols=mtx.rows<=3 ), the direct method is used. For larger matrices, the function uses LU factorization with partial pivoting.

For symmetric positively-determined matrices, it is also possible to use eigen decomposition to calculate the determinant.

Parameters
mtxinput matrix that must have CV_32FC1 or CV_64FC1 type and square size.

◆ dft()

void cv::dft ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst,
int  flags = 0,
int  nonzeroRows = 0 
)
Python:
cv.dft(src[, dst[, flags[, nonzeroRows]]]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Performs a forward or inverse Discrete Fourier transform of a 1D or 2D floating-point array.

The function cv::dft performs one of the following:

  • Forward the Fourier transform of a 1D vector of N elements:

    \[Y = F^{(N)} \cdot X,\]

    where \(F^{(N)}_{jk}=\exp(-2\pi i j k/N)\) and \(i=\sqrt{-1}\)
  • Inverse the Fourier transform of a 1D vector of N elements:

    \[\begin{array}{l} X'= \left (F^{(N)} \right )^{-1} \cdot Y = \left (F^{(N)} \right )^* \cdot y \\ X = (1/N) \cdot X, \end{array}\]

    where \(F^*=\left(\textrm{Re}(F^{(N)})-\textrm{Im}(F^{(N)})\right)^T\)
  • Forward the 2D Fourier transform of a M x N matrix:

    \[Y = F^{(M)} \cdot X \cdot F^{(N)}\]

  • Inverse the 2D Fourier transform of a M x N matrix:

    \[\begin{array}{l} X'= \left (F^{(M)} \right )^* \cdot Y \cdot \left (F^{(N)} \right )^* \\ X = \frac{1}{M \cdot N} \cdot X' \end{array}\]

In case of real (single-channel) data, the output spectrum of the forward Fourier transform or input spectrum of the inverse Fourier transform can be represented in a packed format called CCS (complex-conjugate-symmetrical). It was borrowed from IPL (Intel* Image Processing Library). Here is how 2D CCS spectrum looks:

\[\begin{bmatrix} Re Y_{0,0} & Re Y_{0,1} & Im Y_{0,1} & Re Y_{0,2} & Im Y_{0,2} & \cdots & Re Y_{0,N/2-1} & Im Y_{0,N/2-1} & Re Y_{0,N/2} \\ Re Y_{1,0} & Re Y_{1,1} & Im Y_{1,1} & Re Y_{1,2} & Im Y_{1,2} & \cdots & Re Y_{1,N/2-1} & Im Y_{1,N/2-1} & Re Y_{1,N/2} \\ Im Y_{1,0} & Re Y_{2,1} & Im Y_{2,1} & Re Y_{2,2} & Im Y_{2,2} & \cdots & Re Y_{2,N/2-1} & Im Y_{2,N/2-1} & Im Y_{1,N/2} \\ \hdotsfor{9} \\ Re Y_{M/2-1,0} & Re Y_{M-3,1} & Im Y_{M-3,1} & \hdotsfor{3} & Re Y_{M-3,N/2-1} & Im Y_{M-3,N/2-1}& Re Y_{M/2-1,N/2} \\ Im Y_{M/2-1,0} & Re Y_{M-2,1} & Im Y_{M-2,1} & \hdotsfor{3} & Re Y_{M-2,N/2-1} & Im Y_{M-2,N/2-1}& Im Y_{M/2-1,N/2} \\ Re Y_{M/2,0} & Re Y_{M-1,1} & Im Y_{M-1,1} & \hdotsfor{3} & Re Y_{M-1,N/2-1} & Im Y_{M-1,N/2-1}& Re Y_{M/2,N/2} \end{bmatrix}\]

In case of 1D transform of a real vector, the output looks like the first row of the matrix above.

So, the function chooses an operation mode depending on the flags and size of the input array:

  • If DFT_ROWS is set or the input array has a single row or single column, the function performs a 1D forward or inverse transform of each row of a matrix when DFT_ROWS is set. Otherwise, it performs a 2D transform.
  • If the input array is real and DFT_INVERSE is not set, the function performs a forward 1D or 2D transform:
    • When DFT_COMPLEX_OUTPUT is set, the output is a complex matrix of the same size as input.
    • When DFT_COMPLEX_OUTPUT is not set, the output is a real matrix of the same size as input. In case of 2D transform, it uses the packed format as shown above. In case of a single 1D transform, it looks like the first row of the matrix above. In case of multiple 1D transforms (when using the DFT_ROWS flag), each row of the output matrix looks like the first row of the matrix above.
  • If the input array is complex and either DFT_INVERSE or DFT_REAL_OUTPUT are not set, the output is a complex array of the same size as input. The function performs a forward or inverse 1D or 2D transform of the whole input array or each row of the input array independently, depending on the flags DFT_INVERSE and DFT_ROWS.
  • When DFT_INVERSE is set and the input array is real, or it is complex but DFT_REAL_OUTPUT is set, the output is a real array of the same size as input. The function performs a 1D or 2D inverse transformation of the whole input array or each individual row, depending on the flags DFT_INVERSE and DFT_ROWS.

If DFT_SCALE is set, the scaling is done after the transformation.

Unlike dct , the function supports arrays of arbitrary size. But only those arrays are processed efficiently, whose sizes can be factorized in a product of small prime numbers (2, 3, and 5 in the current implementation). Such an efficient DFT size can be calculated using the getOptimalDFTSize method.

The sample below illustrates how to calculate a DFT-based convolution of two 2D real arrays:

void convolveDFT(InputArray A, InputArray B, OutputArray C)
{
// reallocate the output array if needed
C.create(abs(A.rows - B.rows)+1, abs(A.cols - B.cols)+1, A.type());
Size dftSize;
// calculate the size of DFT transform
dftSize.width = getOptimalDFTSize(A.cols + B.cols - 1);
dftSize.height = getOptimalDFTSize(A.rows + B.rows - 1);
// allocate temporary buffers and initialize them with 0's
Mat tempA(dftSize, A.type(), Scalar::all(0));
Mat tempB(dftSize, B.type(), Scalar::all(0));
// copy A and B to the top-left corners of tempA and tempB, respectively
Mat roiA(tempA, Rect(0,0,A.cols,A.rows));
A.copyTo(roiA);
Mat roiB(tempB, Rect(0,0,B.cols,B.rows));
B.copyTo(roiB);
// now transform the padded A & B in-place;
// use "nonzeroRows" hint for faster processing
dft(tempA, tempA, 0, A.rows);
dft(tempB, tempB, 0, B.rows);
// multiply the spectrums;
// the function handles packed spectrum representations well
mulSpectrums(tempA, tempB, tempA);
// transform the product back from the frequency domain.
// Even though all the result rows will be non-zero,
// you need only the first C.rows of them, and thus you
// pass nonzeroRows == C.rows
dft(tempA, tempA, DFT_INVERSE + DFT_SCALE, C.rows);
// now copy the result back to C.
tempA(Rect(0, 0, C.cols, C.rows)).copyTo(C);
// all the temporary buffers will be deallocated automatically
}

To optimize this sample, consider the following approaches:

  • Since nonzeroRows != 0 is passed to the forward transform calls and since A and B are copied to the top-left corners of tempA and tempB, respectively, it is not necessary to clear the whole tempA and tempB. It is only necessary to clear the tempA.cols - A.cols ( tempB.cols - B.cols) rightmost columns of the matrices.
  • This DFT-based convolution does not have to be applied to the whole big arrays, especially if B is significantly smaller than A or vice versa. Instead, you can calculate convolution by parts. To do this, you need to split the output array C into multiple tiles. For each tile, estimate which parts of A and B are required to calculate convolution in this tile. If the tiles in C are too small, the speed will decrease a lot because of repeated work. In the ultimate case, when each tile in C is a single pixel, the algorithm becomes equivalent to the naive convolution algorithm. If the tiles are too big, the temporary arrays tempA and tempB become too big and there is also a slowdown because of bad cache locality. So, there is an optimal tile size somewhere in the middle.
  • If different tiles in C can be calculated in parallel and, thus, the convolution is done by parts, the loop can be threaded.

All of the above improvements have been implemented in matchTemplate and filter2D . Therefore, by using them, you can get the performance even better than with the above theoretically optimal implementation. Though, those two functions actually calculate cross-correlation, not convolution, so you need to "flip" the second convolution operand B vertically and horizontally using flip .

Note
  • An example using the discrete fourier transform can be found at opencv_source_code/samples/cpp/dft.cpp
  • (Python) An example using the dft functionality to perform Wiener deconvolution can be found at opencv_source/samples/python/deconvolution.py
  • (Python) An example rearranging the quadrants of a Fourier image can be found at opencv_source/samples/python/dft.py
Parameters
srcinput array that could be real or complex.
dstoutput array whose size and type depends on the flags .
flagstransformation flags, representing a combination of the DftFlags
nonzeroRowswhen the parameter is not zero, the function assumes that only the first nonzeroRows rows of the input array (DFT_INVERSE is not set) or only the first nonzeroRows of the output array (DFT_INVERSE is set) contain non-zeros, thus, the function can handle the rest of the rows more efficiently and save some time; this technique is very useful for calculating array cross-correlation or convolution using DFT.

◆ divide() [1/2]

void cv::divide ( InputArray  src1,
InputArray  src2,
OutputArray  dst,
double  scale = 1,

)
Python:
cv.divide(src1, src2[, dst[, scale[, dtype]]]) -> dst
cv.divide(scale, src2[, dst[, dtype]]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Performs per-element division of two arrays or a scalar by an array.

The function cv::divide divides one array by another:

\[\texttt{dst(I) = saturate(src1(I)*scale/src2(I))}\]

or a scalar by an array when there is no src1 :

\[\texttt{dst(I) = saturate(scale/src2(I))}\]

When src2(I) is zero, dst(I) will also be zero. Different channels of multi-channel arrays are processed independently.

Note
Saturation is not applied when the output array has the depth CV_32S. You may even get result of an incorrect sign in the case of overflow.
Parameters
src1first input array.
src2second input array of the same size and type as src1.
scalescalar factor.
dstoutput array of the same size and type as src2.
dtypeoptional depth of the output array; if -1, dst will have depth src2.depth(), but in case of an array-by-array division, you can only pass -1 when src1.depth()==src2.depth().

◆ flip()

void cv::flip ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst,
int  flipCode 
)
Python:
cv.flip(src, flipCode[, dst]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Flips a 2D array around vertical, horizontal, or both axes.

The function cv::flip flips the array in one of three different ways (row and column indices are 0-based):

\[\texttt{dst} _{ij} = \left\{ \begin{array}{l l} \texttt{src} _{\texttt{src.rows}-i-1,j} & if\; \texttt{flipCode} = 0 \\ \texttt{src} _{i, \texttt{src.cols} -j-1} & if\; \texttt{flipCode} > 0 \\ \texttt{src} _{ \texttt{src.rows} -i-1, \texttt{src.cols} -j-1} & if\; \texttt{flipCode} < 0 \\ \end{array} \right.\]

The example scenarios of using the function are the following: Vertical flipping of the image (flipCode == 0) to switch between top-left and bottom-left image origin. This is a typical operation in video processing on Microsoft Windows* OS. Horizontal flipping of the image with the subsequent horizontal shift and absolute difference calculation to check for a vertical-axis symmetry (flipCode > 0). Simultaneous horizontal and vertical flipping of the image with the subsequent shift and absolute difference calculation to check for a central symmetry (flipCode < 0). Reversing the order of point arrays (flipCode > 0 or flipCode == 0).

Parameters
srcinput array.
dstoutput array of the same size and type as src.
flipCodea flag to specify how to flip the array; 0 means flipping around the x-axis and positive value (for example, 1) means flipping around y-axis. Negative value (for example, -1) means flipping around both axes.

◆ gemm()

void cv::gemm ( InputArray  src1,
InputArray  src2,
double  alpha,
InputArray  src3,
double  beta,
OutputArray  dst,
int  flags = 0 
)
Python:
cv.gemm(src1, src2, alpha, src3, beta[, dst[, flags]]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Performs generalized matrix multiplication.

The function cv::gemm performs generalized matrix multiplication similar to the gemm functions in BLAS level 3. For example, gemm(src1, src2, alpha, src3, beta, dst, GEMM_1_T + GEMM_3_T) corresponds to

\[\texttt{dst} = \texttt{alpha} \cdot \texttt{src1} ^T \cdot \texttt{src2} + \texttt{beta} \cdot \texttt{src3} ^T\]

In case of complex (two-channel) data, performed a complex matrix multiplication.

The function can be replaced with a matrix expression. For example, the above call can be replaced with:

dst = alpha*src1.t()*src2 + beta*src3.t();
Parameters
src1first multiplied input matrix that could be real(CV_32FC1, CV_64FC1) or complex(CV_32FC2, CV_64FC2).

◆ getOptimalDFTSize()

int cv::getOptimalDFTSize ( int  vecsize)
Python:
cv.getOptimalDFTSize(vecsize) -> retval

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Returns the optimal DFT size for a given vector size.

DFT performance is not a monotonic function of a vector size. Therefore, when you calculate convolution of two arrays or perform the spectral analysis of an array, it usually makes sense to pad the input data with zeros to get a bit larger array that can be transformed much faster than the original one. Arrays whose size is a power-of-two (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, ...) are the fastest to process. Though, the arrays whose size is a product of 2's, 3's, and 5's (for example, 300 = 5*5*3*2*2) are also processed quite efficiently.

The function cv::getOptimalDFTSize returns the minimum number N that is greater than or equal to vecsize so that the DFT of a vector of size N can be processed efficiently. In the current implementation N = 2 ^p^ * 3 ^q^ * 5 ^r^ for some integer p, q, r.

The function returns a negative number if vecsize is too large (very close to INT_MAX ).

While the function cannot be used directly to estimate the optimal vector size for DCT transform (since the current DCT implementation supports only even-size vectors), it can be easily processed as getOptimalDFTSize((vecsize+1)/2)*2.

Parameters
vecsizevector size.

void cv::hconcat ( const Mat src,

The function horizontally concatenates two or more cv::Mat matrices (with the same number of rows).

cv::Mat matArray[] = { cv::Mat(4, 1, CV_8UC1, cv::Scalar(1)),
cv::Mat(4, 1, CV_8UC1, cv::Scalar(3)),};

void cv::inRange ( InputArray  src,
InputArray  lowerb,

OutputArray  dst 
)
Python:
cv.inRange(src, lowerb, upperb[, dst]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Checks if array elements lie between the elements of two other arrays.

The function checks the range as follows:

  • For every element of a single-channel input array:

    \[\texttt{dst} (I)= \texttt{lowerb} (I)_0 \leq \texttt{src} (I)_0 \leq \texttt{upperb} (I)_0\]

  • For two-channel arrays:

    \[\texttt{dst} (I)= \texttt{lowerb} (I)_0 \leq \texttt{src} (I)_0 \leq \texttt{upperb} (I)_0 \land \texttt{lowerb} (I)_1 \leq \texttt{src} (I)_1 \leq \texttt{upperb} (I)_1\]

  • and so forth.

That is, dst (I) is set to 255 (all 1 -bits) if src (I) is within the specified 1D, 2D, 3D, ... box and 0 otherwise.

When the lower and/or upper boundary parameters are scalars, the indexes (I) at lowerb and upperb in the above formulas should be omitted.

◆ invert()

double cv::invert ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst,
int  flags = DECOMP_LU 
)
Python:
cv.invert(src[, dst[, flags]]) -> retval, dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Finds the inverse or pseudo-inverse of a matrix.

The function cv::invert inverts the matrix src and stores the result in dst . When the matrix src is singular or non-square, the function calculates the pseudo-inverse matrix (the dst matrix) so that norm(src*dst - I) is minimal, where I is an identity matrix.

In case of the DECOMP_LU method, the function returns non-zero value if the inverse has been successfully calculated and 0 if src is singular.

In case of the DECOMP_SVD method, the function returns the inverse condition number of src (the ratio of the smallest singular value to the largest singular value) and 0 if src is singular. The SVD method calculates a pseudo-inverse matrix if src is singular.

Similarly to DECOMP_LU, the method DECOMP_CHOLESKY works only with non-singular square matrices that should also be symmetrical and positively defined. In this case, the function stores the inverted matrix in dst and returns non-zero. Otherwise, it returns 0.

Parameters
srcinput floating-point M x N matrix.
dstoutput matrix of N x M size and the same type as src.
flagsinversion method (cv::DecompTypes)

InputArray  lut,
OutputArray  dst 
)
Python:
cv.LUT(src, lut[, dst]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Performs a look-up table transform of an array.

The function LUT fills the output array with values from the look-up table. Indices of the entries are taken from the input array. That is, the function processes each element of src as follows:

\[\texttt{dst} (I) \leftarrow \texttt{lut(src(I) + d)}\]

where

\[d = \fork{0}{if \(\texttt{src}\) has depth \(\texttt{CV_8U}\)}{128}{if \(\texttt{src}\) has depth \(\texttt{CV_8S}\)}\]

Parameters
srcinput array of 8-bit elements.
lutlook-up table of 256 elements; in case of multi-channel input array, the table should either have a single channel (in this case the same table is used for all channels) or the same number of channels as in the input array.
dstoutput array of the same size and number of channels as src, and the same depth as lut.

Scalar cv::mean ( InputArray  src,
InputArray  mask = noArray() 
)
Python:
cv.mean(src[, mask]) -> retval

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Calculates an average (mean) of array elements.

The function cv::mean calculates the mean value M of array elements, independently for each channel, and return it:

\[\begin{array}{l} N = \sum _{I: \; \texttt{mask} (I) \ne 0} 1 \\ M_c = \left ( \sum _{I: \; \texttt{mask} (I) \ne 0}{ \texttt{mtx} (I)_c} \right )/N \end{array}\]

When all the mask elements are 0's, the function returns Scalar::all(0)

Parameters
srcinput array that should have from 1 to 4 channels so that the result can be stored in Scalar_ .
maskoptional operation mask.

OutputArray  stddev,
InputArray  mask = noArray() 
)
Python:
cv.meanStdDev(src[, mean[, stddev[, mask]]]) -> mean, stddev

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Calculates a mean and standard deviation of array elements.

The function cv::meanStdDev calculates the mean and the standard deviation M of array elements independently for each channel and returns it via the output parameters:

\[\begin{array}{l} N = \sum _{I, \texttt{mask} (I) \ne 0} 1 \\ \texttt{mean} _c = \frac{\sum_{ I: \; \texttt{mask}(I) \ne 0} \texttt{src} (I)_c}{N} \\ \texttt{stddev} _c = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{ I: \; \texttt{mask}(I) \ne 0} \left ( \texttt{src} (I)_c - \texttt{mean} _c \right )^2}{N}} \end{array}\]

When all the mask elements are 0's, the function returns mean=stddev=Scalar::all(0).

Note
The calculated standard deviation is only the diagonal of the complete normalized covariance matrix. If the full matrix is needed, you can reshape the multi-channel array M x N to the single-channel array M*N x mtx.channels() (only possible when the matrix is continuous) and then pass the matrix to calcCovarMatrix .
Parameters
srcinput array that should have from 1 to 4 channels so that the results can be stored in Scalar_ 's.
meanoutput parameter: calculated mean value.
stddevoutput parameter: calculated standard deviation.
maskoptional operation mask.

Mat m1 = (Mat_<uchar>(2,2) << 1,4,7,10);
Mat m2 = (Mat_<uchar>(2,2) << 2,5,8,11);
Mat m3 = (Mat_<uchar>(2,2) << 3,6,9,12);
Mat channels[3] = {m1, m2, m3};
Mat m;
merge(channels, 3, m);
/*
m =
[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6;
7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
m.channels() = 3
*/
Parameters
mvinput array of matrices to be merged; all the matrices in mv must have the same size and the same depth.
countnumber of input matrices when mv is a plain C array; it must be greater than zero.

double *  maxVal = 0,
int *  minIdx = 0,
int *  maxIdx = 0,
InputArray  mask = noArray() 
)

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Finds the global minimum and maximum in an array.

The function cv::minMaxIdx finds the minimum and maximum element values and their positions. The extremums are searched across the whole array or, if mask is not an empty array, in the specified array region. The function does not work with multi-channel arrays. If you need to find minimum or maximum elements across all the channels, use Mat::reshape first to reinterpret the array as single-channel. Or you may extract the particular channel using either extractImageCOI , or mixChannels , or split . In case of a sparse matrix, the minimum is found among non-zero elements only.

Note
When minIdx is not NULL, it must have at least 2 elements (as well as maxIdx), even if src is a single-row or single-column matrix. In OpenCV (following MATLAB) each array has at least 2 dimensions, i.e. single-column matrix is Mx1 matrix (and therefore minIdx/maxIdx will be (i1,0)/(i2,0)) and single-row matrix is 1xN matrix (and therefore minIdx/maxIdx will be (0,j1)/(0,j2)).
Parameters
srcinput single-channel array.
minValpointer to the returned minimum value; NULL is used if not required.
maxValpointer to the returned maximum value; NULL is used if not required.
minIdxpointer to the returned minimum location (in nD case); NULL is used if not required; Otherwise, it must point to an array of src.dims elements, the coordinates of the minimum element in each dimension are stored there sequentially.
maxIdxpointer to the returned maximum location (in nD case). NULL is used if not required.

Python:
cv.minMaxLoc(src[, mask]) -> minVal, maxVal, minLoc, maxLoc

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Finds the global minimum and maximum in an array.

The function cv::minMaxLoc finds the minimum and maximum element values and their positions. The extremums are searched across the whole array or, if mask is not an empty array, in the specified array region.

The function do not work with multi-channel arrays. If you need to find minimum or maximum elements across all the channels, use Mat::reshape first to reinterpret the array as single-channel. Or you may extract the particular channel using either extractImageCOI , or mixChannels , or split .

Parameters
srcinput single-channel array.
minValpointer to the returned minimum value; NULL is used if not required.
maxValpointer to the returned maximum value; NULL is used if not required.

◆ mixChannels() [1/3]

void cv::mixChannels ( const Mat src,
size_t  nsrcs,
Mat dst,
size_t  ndsts,
const int *  fromTo,
size_t  npairs 
)
Python:
cv.mixChannels(src, dst, fromTo) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Copies specified channels from input arrays to the specified channels of output arrays.

The function cv::mixChannels provides an advanced mechanism for shuffling image channels.

cv::split,cv::merge,cv::extractChannel,cv::insertChannel and some forms of cv::cvtColor are partial cases of cv::mixChannels.

In the example below, the code splits a 4-channel BGRA image into a 3-channel BGR (with B and R channels swapped) and a separate alpha-channel image:

Mat bgra( 100, 100, CV_8UC4, Scalar(255,0,0,255) );
Mat bgr( bgra.rows, bgra.cols, CV_8UC3 );
Mat alpha( bgra.rows, bgra.cols, CV_8UC1 );
// forming an array of matrices is a quite efficient operation,
// because the matrix data is not copied, only the headers
Mat out[] = { bgr, alpha };
// bgra[0] -> bgr[2], bgra[1] -> bgr[1],
// bgra[2] -> bgr[0], bgra[3] -> alpha[0]
int from_to[] = { 0,2, 1,1, 2,0, 3,3 };
mixChannels( &bgra, 1, out, 2, from_to, 4 );
Note
Unlike many other new-style C++ functions in OpenCV (see the introduction section and Mat::create ), cv::mixChannels requires the output arrays to be pre-allocated before calling the function.
Parameters
srcinput array or vector of matrices; all of the matrices must have the same size and the same depth.
nsrcsnumber of matrices in src.
dstoutput array or vector of matrices; all the matrices must be allocated; their size and depth must be the same as in src[0].
ndstsnumber of matrices in dst.
fromToarray of index pairs specifying which channels are copied and where; fromTo[k*2] is a 0-based index of the input channel in src, fromTo[k*2+1] is an index of the output channel in dst; the continuous channel numbering is used: the first input image channels are indexed from 0 to src[0].channels()-1, the second input image channels are indexed from src[0].channels() to src[0].channels() + src[1].channels()-1, and so on, the same scheme is used for the output image channels; as a special case, when fromTo[k*2] is negative, the corresponding output channel is filled with zero .

bool  conjB = false 
)
Python:
cv.mulSpectrums(a, b, flags[, c[, conjB]]) -> c

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Performs the per-element multiplication of two Fourier spectrums.

The function cv::mulSpectrums performs the per-element multiplication of the two CCS-packed or complex matrices that are results of a real or complex Fourier transform.

The function, together with dft and idft , may be used to calculate convolution (pass conjB=false ) or correlation (pass conjB=true ) of two arrays rapidly. When the arrays are complex, they are simply multiplied (per element) with an optional conjugation of the second-array elements. When the arrays are real, they are assumed to be CCS-packed (see dft for details).

Parameters
afirst input array.
bsecond input array of the same size and type as src1 .
coutput array of the same size and type as src1 .
flagsoperation flags; currently, the only supported flag is cv::DFT_ROWS, which indicates that each row of src1 and src2 is an independent 1D Fourier spectrum. If you do not want to use this flag, then simply add a 0 as value.
conjBoptional flag that conjugates the second input array before the multiplication (true) or not (false).

◆ multiply()

InputArray  src2,
OutputArray  dst,
double  scale = 1,
int  dtype = -1 
)
Python:
cv.multiply(src1, src2[, dst[, scale[, dtype]]]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Calculates the per-element scaled product of two arrays.

The function multiply calculates the per-element product of two arrays:

\[\texttt{dst} (I)= \texttt{saturate} ( \texttt{scale} \cdot \texttt{src1} (I) \cdot \texttt{src2} (I))\]

There is also a MatrixExpressions -friendly variant of the first function. See Mat::mul .

For a not-per-element matrix product, see gemm .

Note
Saturation is not applied when the output array has the depth CV_32S. You may even get result of an incorrect sign in the case of overflow.
Parameters
src1first input array.
src2second input array of the same size and the same type as src1.
dstoutput array of the same size and type as src1.
scaleoptional scale factor.

◆ mulTransposed()

void cv::mulTransposed ( InputArray  src,

double  scale = 1,
int  dtype = -1 
)
Python:
cv.mulTransposed(src, aTa[, dst[, delta[, scale[, dtype]]]]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Calculates the product of a matrix and its transposition.

The function cv::mulTransposed calculates the product of src and its transposition:

\[\texttt{dst} = \texttt{scale} ( \texttt{src} - \texttt{delta} )^T ( \texttt{src} - \texttt{delta} )\]

if aTa=true , and

\[\texttt{dst} = \texttt{scale} ( \texttt{src} - \texttt{delta} ) ( \texttt{src} - \texttt{delta} )^T\]

otherwise. The function is used to calculate the covariance matrix. With zero delta, it can be used as a faster substitute for general matrix product A*B when B=A'

Parameters
srcinput single-channel matrix. Note that unlike gemm, the function can multiply not only floating-point matrices.
dstoutput square matrix.
aTaFlag specifying the multiplication ordering. See the description below.
deltaOptional delta matrix subtracted from src before the multiplication. When the matrix is empty ( delta=noArray() ), it is assumed to be zero, that is, nothing is subtracted. If it has the same size as src , it is simply subtracted. Otherwise, it is "repeated" (see repeat ) to cover the full src and then subtracted. Type of the delta matrix, when it is not empty, must be the same as the type of created output matrix. See the dtype parameter description below.
scaleOptional scale factor for the matrix product.
dtypeOptional type of the output matrix. When it is negative, the output matrix will have the same type as src . Otherwise, it will be type=CV_MAT_DEPTH(dtype) that should be either CV_32F or CV_64F .

◆ norm() [1/3]

double cv::norm ( InputArray  src1,
int  normType = NORM_L2,
InputArray  mask = noArray() 
)
Python:
cv.norm(src1[, normType[, mask]]) -> retval
cv.norm(src1, src2[, normType[, mask]]) -> retval

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Calculates the absolute norm of an array.

This version of norm calculates the absolute norm of src1. The type of norm to calculate is specified using NormTypes.

As example for one array consider the function \(r(x)= \begin{pmatrix} x \\ 1-x \end{pmatrix}, x \in [-1;1]\). The \( L_{1}, L_{2} \) and \( L_{\infty} \) norm for the sample value \(r(-1) = \begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}\) is calculated as follows

\begin{align*} \| r(-1) \|_{L_1} &= |-1| + |2| = 3 \\ \| r(-1) \|_{L_2} &= \sqrt{(-1)^{2} + (2)^{2}} = \sqrt{5} \\ \| r(-1) \|_{L_\infty} &= \max(|-1|,|2|) = 2 \end{align*}

and for \(r(0.5) = \begin{pmatrix} 0.5 \\ 0.5 \end{pmatrix}\) the calculation is

\begin{align*} \| r(0.5) \|_{L_1} &= |0.5| + |0.5| = 1 \\ \| r(0.5) \|_{L_2} &= \sqrt{(0.5)^{2} + (0.5)^{2}} = \sqrt{0.5} \\ \| r(0.5) \|_{L_\infty} &= \max(|0.5|,|0.5|) = 0.5. \end{align*}

The following graphic shows all values for the three norm functions \(\| r(x) \|_{L_1}, \| r(x) \|_{L_2}\) and \(\| r(x) \|_{L_\infty}\). It is notable that the \( L_{1} \) norm forms the upper and the \( L_{\infty} \) norm forms the lower border for the example function \( r(x) \).

NormTypes_OneArray_1-2-INF.png
Graphs for the different norm functions from the above example

When the mask parameter is specified and it is not empty, the norm is

If normType is not specified, NORM_L2 is used. calculated only over the region specified by the mask.

Multi-channel input arrays are treated as single-channel arrays, that is, the results for all channels are combined.

Hamming norms can only be calculated with CV_8U depth arrays.

Parameters
src1first input array.
normTypetype of the norm (see NormTypes).
maskoptional operation mask; it must have the same size as src1 and CV_8UC1 type.

cv.norm(src1, src2[, normType[, mask]]) -> retval

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Calculates an absolute difference norm or a relative difference norm.

This version of cv::norm calculates the absolute difference norm or the relative difference norm of arrays src1 and src2. The type of norm to calculate is specified using NormTypes.

Parameters
src1first input array.
src2second input array of the same size and the same type as src1.
normTypetype of the norm (see NormTypes).
maskoptional operation mask; it must have the same size as src1 and CV_8UC1 type.

◆ norm() [3/3]

double cv::norm ( const SparseMat src,
int  normType 
)
Python:
cv.norm(src1[, normType[, mask]]) -> retval
cv.norm(src1, src2[, normType[, mask]]) -> retval

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Parameters
srcfirst input array.
normTypetype of the norm (see NormTypes).

◆ normalize() [1/2]

void cv::normalize ( InputArray  src,
InputOutputArray  dst,
double  alpha = 1,
double  beta = 0,
int  norm_type = NORM_L2,
int  dtype = -1,
InputArray  mask = noArray() 
)
Python:
cv.normalize(src, dst[, alpha[, beta[, norm_type[, dtype[, mask]]]]]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Normalizes the norm or value range of an array.

The function cv::normalize normalizes scale and shift the input array elements so that

\[\| \texttt{dst} \| _{L_p}= \texttt{alpha}\]

(where p=Inf, 1 or 2) when normType=NORM_INF, NORM_L1, or NORM_L2, respectively; or so that

\[\min _I \texttt{dst} (I)= \texttt{alpha} , \, \, \max _I \texttt{dst} (I)= \texttt{beta}\]

when normType=NORM_MINMAX (for dense arrays only). The optional mask specifies a sub-array to be normalized. This means that the norm or min-n-max are calculated over the sub-array, and then this sub-array is modified to be normalized. If you want to only use the mask to calculate the norm or min-max but modify the whole array, you can use norm and Mat::convertTo.

In case of sparse matrices, only the non-zero values are analyzed and transformed. Because of this, the range transformation for sparse matrices is not allowed since it can shift the zero level.

Possible usage with some positive example data:

vector<double> positiveData = { 2.0, 8.0, 10.0 };
vector<double> normalizedData_l1, normalizedData_l2, normalizedData_inf, normalizedData_minmax;
// Norm to probability (total count)
// sum(numbers) = 20.0
// 2.0 0.1 (2.0/20.0)
// 8.0 0.4 (8.0/20.0)
// 10.0 0.5 (10.0/20.0)
normalize(positiveData, normalizedData_l1, 1.0, 0.0, NORM_L1);
// Norm to unit vector: ||positiveData|| = 1.0
// 2.0 0.15
// 8.0 0.62
// 10.0 0.77
normalize(positiveData, normalizedData_l2, 1.0, 0.0, NORM_L2);
// Norm to max element
// 2.0 0.2 (2.0/10.0)
// 8.0 0.8 (8.0/10.0)
// 10.0 1.0 (10.0/10.0)
normalize(positiveData, normalizedData_inf, 1.0, 0.0, NORM_INF);
// Norm to range [0.0;1.0]
// 2.0 0.0 (shift to left border)
// 8.0 0.75 (6.0/8.0)
// 10.0 1.0 (shift to right border)
normalize(positiveData, normalizedData_minmax, 1.0, 0.0, NORM_MINMAX);

OutputArray  dst,
InputArray  m 
)
Python:
cv.perspectiveTransform(src, m[, dst]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Performs the perspective matrix transformation of vectors.

The function cv::perspectiveTransform transforms every element of src by treating it as a 2D or 3D vector, in the following way:

\[(x, y, z) \rightarrow (x'/w, y'/w, z'/w)\]

where

\[(x', y', z', w') = \texttt{mat} \cdot \begin{bmatrix} x & y & z & 1 \end{bmatrix}\]

and

\[w = \fork{w'}{if \(w' \ne 0\)}{\infty}{otherwise}\]

Here a 3D vector transformation is shown. In case of a 2D vector transformation, the z component is omitted.

Note
The function transforms a sparse set of 2D or 3D vectors. If you want to transform an image using perspective transformation, use warpPerspective . If you have an inverse problem, that is, you want to compute the most probable perspective transformation out of several pairs of corresponding points, you can use getPerspectiveTransform or findHomography .
Parameters
srcinput two-channel or three-channel floating-point array; each element is a 2D/3D vector to be transformed.
dstoutput array of the same size and type as src.
m3x3 or 4x4 floating-point transformation matrix.

◆ phase()

void cv::phase ( InputArray  x,
InputArray  y,
OutputArray  angle,
bool  angleInDegrees = false 
)
Python:
cv.phase(x, y[, angle[, angleInDegrees]]) -> angle

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Calculates the rotation angle of 2D vectors.

The function cv::phase calculates the rotation angle of each 2D vector that is formed from the corresponding elements of x and y :

\[\texttt{angle} (I) = \texttt{atan2} ( \texttt{y} (I), \texttt{x} (I))\]

The angle estimation accuracy is about 0.3 degrees. When x(I)=y(I)=0 , the corresponding angle(I) is set to 0.

Parameters
xinput floating-point array of x-coordinates of 2D vectors.
yinput array of y-coordinates of 2D vectors; it must have the same size and the same type as x.
angleoutput array of vector angles; it has the same size and same type as x .

◆ polarToCart()

void cv::polarToCart ( InputArray  magnitude,
InputArray  angle,
OutputArray  x,
OutputArray  y,
bool  angleInDegrees = false 
)
Python:
cv.polarToCart(magnitude, angle[, x[, y[, angleInDegrees]]]) -> x, y

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Calculates x and y coordinates of 2D vectors from their magnitude and angle.

The function cv::polarToCart calculates the Cartesian coordinates of each 2D vector represented by the corresponding elements of magnitude and angle:

\[\begin{array}{l} \texttt{x} (I) = \texttt{magnitude} (I) \cos ( \texttt{angle} (I)) \\ \texttt{y} (I) = \texttt{magnitude} (I) \sin ( \texttt{angle} (I)) \\ \end{array}\]

The relative accuracy of the estimated coordinates is about 1e-6.

Parameters
magnitudeinput floating-point array of magnitudes of 2D vectors; it can be an empty matrix (=Mat()), in this case, the function assumes that all the magnitudes are =1; if it is not empty, it must have the same size and type as angle.
angleinput floating-point array of angles of 2D vectors.
xoutput array of x-coordinates of 2D vectors; it has the same size and type as angle.
youtput array of y-coordinates of 2D vectors; it has the same size and type as angle.

◆ pow()

void cv::pow ( InputArray  src,
double  power,
OutputArray  dst 
)
Python:
cv.pow(src, power[, dst]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Raises every array element to a power.

The function cv::pow raises every element of the input array to power :

\[\texttt{dst} (I) = \fork{\texttt{src}(I)^{power}}{if \(\texttt{power}\) is integer}{|\texttt{src}(I)|^{power}}{otherwise}\]

So, for a non-integer power exponent, the absolute values of input array elements are used. However, it is possible to get true values for negative values using some extra operations. In the example below, computing the 5th root of array src shows:

Mat mask = src < 0;
pow(src, 1./5, dst);
subtract(Scalar::all(0), dst, dst, mask);

For some values of power, such as integer values, 0.5 and -0.5, specialized faster algorithms are used.

Special values (NaN, Inf) are not handled.

Parameters
srcinput array.
powerexponent of power.
dstoutput array of the same size and type as src.

)
Python:
cv.PSNR(src1, src2) -> retval

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Computes the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) image quality metric.

This function calculates the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) image quality metric in decibels (dB), between two input arrays src1 and src2. Arrays must have depth CV_8U.

The PSNR is calculated as follows:

\[ \texttt{PSNR} = 10 \cdot \log_{10}{\left( \frac{R^2}{MSE} \right) } \]

where R is the maximum integer value of depth CV_8U (255) and MSE is the mean squared error between the two arrays.

◆ reduce()

void cv::reduce ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst,
int  dim,
int  rtype,
int  dtype = -1 
)
Python:
cv.reduce(src, dim, rtype[, dst[, dtype]]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Reduces a matrix to a vector.

The function reduce reduces the matrix to a vector by treating the matrix rows/columns as a set of 1D vectors and performing the specified operation on the vectors until a single row/column is obtained. For example, the function can be used to compute horizontal and vertical projections of a raster image. In case of REDUCE_MAX and REDUCE_MIN , the output image should have the same type as the source one. In case of REDUCE_SUM and REDUCE_AVG , the output may have a larger element bit-depth to preserve accuracy. And multi-channel arrays are also supported in these two reduction modes.

The following code demonstrates its usage for a single channel matrix.

Mat m = (Mat_<uchar>(3,2) << 1,2,3,4,5,6);
Mat col_sum, row_sum;
reduce(m, col_sum, 0, REDUCE_SUM, CV_32F);
reduce(m, row_sum, 1, REDUCE_SUM, CV_32F);
/*
m =
[ 1, 2;
3, 4;
5, 6]
col_sum =
[9, 12]
row_sum =
[3;
7;
11]
*/

And the following code demonstrates its usage for a two-channel matrix.

// two channels
char d[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6};
Mat m(3, 1, CV_8UC2, d);
Mat col_sum_per_channel;
reduce(m, col_sum_per_channel, 0, REDUCE_SUM, CV_32F);
/*
col_sum_per_channel =
[9, 12]
*/
Parameters
srcinput 2D matrix.
dstoutput vector. Its size and type is defined by dim and dtype parameters.
dimdimension index along which the matrix is reduced. 0 means that the matrix is reduced to a single row. 1 means that the matrix is reduced to a single column.
rtypereduction operation that could be one of ReduceTypes
dtypewhen negative, the output vector will have the same type as the input matrix, otherwise, its type will be CV_MAKE_TYPE(CV_MAT_DEPTH(dtype), src.channels()).

The function cv::repeat duplicates the input array one or more times along each of the two axes:

\[\texttt{dst} _{ij}= \texttt{src} _{i\mod src.rows, \; j\mod src.cols }\]

The second variant of the function is more convenient to use with MatrixExpressions.

int  flags = DECOMP_LU 
)
Python:
cv.solve(src1, src2[, dst[, flags]]) -> retval, dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Solves one or more linear systems or least-squares problems.

The function cv::solve solves a linear system or least-squares problem (the latter is possible with SVD or QR methods, or by specifying the flag DECOMP_NORMAL ):

\[\texttt{dst} = \arg \min _X \| \texttt{src1} \cdot \texttt{X} - \texttt{src2} \|\]

If DECOMP_LU or DECOMP_CHOLESKY method is used, the function returns 1 if src1 (or \(\texttt{src1}^T\texttt{src1}\) ) is non-singular. Otherwise, it returns 0. In the latter case, dst is not valid. Other methods find a pseudo-solution in case of a singular left-hand side part.

Note
If you want to find a unity-norm solution of an under-defined singular system \(\texttt{src1}\cdot\texttt{dst}=0\) , the function solve will not do the work. Use SVD::solveZ instead.
Parameters

OutputArray  dst,
int  flags 
)
Python:
cv.sort(src, flags[, dst]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Sorts each row or each column of a matrix.

The function cv::sort sorts each matrix row or each matrix column in ascending or descending order. So you should pass two operation flags to get desired behaviour. If you want to sort matrix rows or columns lexicographically, you can use STL std::sort generic function with the proper comparison predicate.

Parameters
srcinput single-channel array.
dstoutput array of the same size and type as src.
flagsoperation flags, a combination of SortFlags

OutputArray  dst,
int  flags 
)
Python:
cv.sortIdx(src, flags[, dst]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Sorts each row or each column of a matrix.

The function cv::sortIdx sorts each matrix row or each matrix column in the ascending or descending order. So you should pass two operation flags to get desired behaviour. Instead of reordering the elements themselves, it stores the indices of sorted elements in the output array. For example:

Mat A = Mat::eye(3,3,CV_32F), B;
// B will probably contain
// (because of equal elements in A some permutations are possible):
// [[1, 2, 0], [0, 2, 1], [0, 1, 2]]

◆ split() [1/2]

void cv::split ( const Mat src,
Mat mvbegin 
)
Python:
cv.split(m[, mv]) -> mv

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Divides a multi-channel array into several single-channel arrays.

The function cv::split splits a multi-channel array into separate single-channel arrays:

\[\texttt{mv} [c](I) = \texttt{src} (I)_c\]

If you need to extract a single channel or do some other sophisticated channel permutation, use mixChannels .

The following example demonstrates how to split a 3-channel matrix into 3 single channel matrices.

char d[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12};
Mat m(2, 2, CV_8UC3, d);
Mat channels[3];
split(m, channels);
/*
channels[0] =
[ 1, 4;
7, 10]
channels[1] =
[ 2, 5;
8, 11]
channels[2] =
[ 3, 6;
9, 12]
*/
Parameters
srcinput multi-channel array.
mvbeginoutput array; the number of arrays must match src.channels(); the arrays themselves are reallocated, if needed.

◆ split() [2/2]

void cv::split ( InputArray  m,
OutputArrayOfArrays  mv 
)
Python:
cv.split(m[, mv]) -> mv

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Parameters
minput multi-channel array.
mvoutput vector of arrays; the arrays themselves are reallocated, if needed.

◆ sqrt()

void cv::sqrt ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst 
)
Python:
cv.sqrt(src[, dst]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Calculates a square root of array elements.

The function cv::sqrt calculates a square root of each input array element. In case of multi-channel arrays, each channel is processed independently. The accuracy is approximately the same as of the built-in std::sqrt .

Parameters
srcinput floating-point array.
dstoutput array of the same size and type as src.

◆ subtract()

void cv::subtract ( InputArray  src1,
InputArray  src2,
OutputArray  dst,
InputArray  mask = noArray(),
int  dtype = -1 
)
Python:
cv.subtract(src1, src2[, dst[, mask[, dtype]]]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Calculates the per-element difference between two arrays or array and a scalar.

The function subtract calculates:

  • Difference between two arrays, when both input arrays have the same size and the same number of channels:

    \[\texttt{dst}(I) = \texttt{saturate} ( \texttt{src1}(I) - \texttt{src2}(I)) \quad \texttt{if mask}(I) \ne0\]

  • Difference between an array and a scalar, when src2 is constructed from Scalar or has the same number of elements as src1.channels():

    \[\texttt{dst}(I) = \texttt{saturate} ( \texttt{src1}(I) - \texttt{src2} ) \quad \texttt{if mask}(I) \ne0\]

  • Difference between a scalar and an array, when src1 is constructed from Scalar or has the same number of elements as src2.channels():

    \[\texttt{dst}(I) = \texttt{saturate} ( \texttt{src1} - \texttt{src2}(I) ) \quad \texttt{if mask}(I) \ne0\]

  • The reverse difference between a scalar and an array in the case of SubRS:

    \[\texttt{dst}(I) = \texttt{saturate} ( \texttt{src2} - \texttt{src1}(I) ) \quad \texttt{if mask}(I) \ne0\]

    where I is a multi-dimensional index of array elements. In case of multi-channel arrays, each channel is processed independently.

The first function in the list above can be replaced with matrix expressions:

dst = src1 - src2;
dst -= src1; // equivalent to subtract(dst, src1, dst);

The input arrays and the output array can all have the same or different depths. For example, you can subtract to 8-bit unsigned arrays and store the difference in a 16-bit signed array. Depth of the output array is determined by dtype parameter. In the second and third cases above, as well as in the first case, when src1.depth() == src2.depth(), dtype can be set to the default -1. In this case the output array will have the same depth as the input array, be it src1, src2 or both.

Note
Saturation is not applied when the output array has the depth CV_32S. You may even get result of an incorrect sign in the case of overflow.
Parameters
src1first input array or a scalar.
src2second input array or a scalar.
dstoutput array of the same size and the same number of channels as the input array.
maskoptional operation mask; this is an 8-bit single channel array that specifies elements of the output array to be changed.
dtypeoptional depth of the output array

◆ sum()

Scalar cv::sum ( InputArray  src)
Python:
cv.sumElems(src) -> retval

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Calculates the sum of array elements.

The function cv::sum calculates and returns the sum of array elements, independently for each channel.

◆ SVBackSubst()

void cv::SVBackSubst ( InputArray  w,
InputArray  u,
InputArray  vt,
InputArray  rhs,
OutputArray  dst 
)
Python:
cv.SVBackSubst(w, u, vt, rhs[, dst]) -> dst

◆ SVDecomp()

void cv::SVDecomp ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  w,
OutputArray  u,
OutputArray  vt,
int  flags = 0 
)
Python:
cv.SVDecomp(src[, w[, u[, vt[, flags]]]]) -> w, u, vt

◆ theRNG()

RNG& cv::theRNG ( )

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Returns the default random number generator.

The function cv::theRNG returns the default random number generator. For each thread, there is a separate random number generator, so you can use the function safely in multi-thread environments. If you just need to get a single random number using this generator or initialize an array, you can use randu or randn instead. But if you are going to generate many random numbers inside a loop, it is much faster to use this function to retrieve the generator and then use RNG::operator _Tp() .

RNG, randu, randn
Examples:
samples/cpp/convexhull.cpp, samples/cpp/ffilldemo.cpp, samples/cpp/minarea.cpp, and samples/cpp/watershed.cpp.

◆ trace()

Scalar cv::trace ( InputArray  mtx)
Python:
cv.trace(mtx) -> retval

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Returns the trace of a matrix.

The function cv::trace returns the sum of the diagonal elements of the matrix mtx .

\[\mathrm{tr} ( \texttt{mtx} ) = \sum _i \texttt{mtx} (i,i)\]

Parameters
mtxinput matrix.

◆ transform()

void cv::transform ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst,
InputArray  m 
)
Python:
cv.transform(src, m[, dst]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Performs the matrix transformation of every array element.

The function cv::transform performs the matrix transformation of every element of the array src and stores the results in dst :

\[\texttt{dst} (I) = \texttt{m} \cdot \texttt{src} (I)\]

(when m.cols=src.channels() ), or

\[\texttt{dst} (I) = \texttt{m} \cdot [ \texttt{src} (I); 1]\]

(when m.cols=src.channels()+1 )

Every element of the N -channel array src is interpreted as N -element vector that is transformed using the M x N or M x (N+1) matrix m to M-element vector - the corresponding element of the output array dst .

The function may be used for geometrical transformation of N -dimensional points, arbitrary linear color space transformation (such as various kinds of RGB to YUV transforms), shuffling the image channels, and so forth.

Parameters
srcinput array that must have as many channels (1 to 4) as m.cols or m.cols-1.
dstoutput array of the same size and depth as src; it has as many channels as m.rows.
mtransformation 2x2 or 2x3 floating-point matrix.

◆ transpose()

void cv::transpose ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst 
)
Python:
cv.transpose(src[, dst]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Transposes a matrix.

The function cv::transpose transposes the matrix src :

\[\texttt{dst} (i,j) = \texttt{src} (j,i)\]

Note
No complex conjugation is done in case of a complex matrix. It should be done separately if needed.
Parameters
srcinput array.
dstoutput array of the same type as src.
Examples:
samples/cpp/train_HOG.cpp.

◆ vconcat() [1/3]

void cv::vconcat ( const Mat src,
size_t  nsrc,

Python:
cv.vconcat(src[, dst]) -> dst

#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

Applies vertical concatenation to given matrices.

The function vertically concatenates two or more cv::Mat matrices (with the same number of cols).

cv::Mat matArray[] = { cv::Mat(1, 4, CV_8UC1, cv::Scalar(1)),
cv::Mat(1, 4, CV_8UC1, cv::Scalar(3)),};
cv::Mat out;
