Detailed Description

This module contains:

• API for new layers creation, layers are building bricks of neural networks;
• set of built-in most-useful Layers;
• API to construct and modify comprehensive neural networks from layers;
• functionality for loading serialized networks models from different frameworks.

Functionality of this module is designed only for forward pass computations (i.e. network testing). A network training is in principle not supported.

Function Documentation

blobFromImage() [1/2]

Mat cv::dnn::blobFromImage	(	InputArray	image,
		double	scalefactor = 1.0,
		const Size &	size = Size(),
		const Scalar &	mean = Scalar(),
		bool	swapRB = false,
		bool	crop = false,
		int	ddepth = CV_32F
	)

Python:
	cv.dnn.blobFromImage(	image[, scalefactor[, size[, mean[, swapRB[, crop[, ddepth]]]]]]	) ->	retval

#include <opencv2/dnn/dnn.hpp>

Creates 4-dimensional blob from image. Optionally resizes and crops image from center, subtract mean values, scales values by scalefactor, swap Blue and Red channels.

Parameters

image	input image (with 1-, 3- or 4-channels).
scalefactor	multiplier for images values.
size	spatial size for output image
mean	scalar with mean values which are subtracted from channels. Values are intended to be in (mean-R, mean-G, mean-B) order if image has BGR ordering and swapRB is true.
swapRB	flag which indicates that swap first and last channels in 3-channel image is necessary.
crop	flag which indicates whether image will be cropped after resize or not
ddepth	Depth of output blob. Choose CV_32F or CV_8U.

if crop is true, input image is resized so one side after resize is equal to corresponding dimension in size and another one is equal or larger. Then, crop from the center is performed. If crop is false, direct resize without cropping and preserving aspect ratio is performed.

Returns

4-dimensional Mat with NCHW dimensions order.

Note

The order and usage of scalefactor and mean are (input - mean) * scalefactor.

Examples:

samples/dnn/classification.cpp, samples/dnn/colorization.cpp, samples/dnn/object_detection.cpp, samples/dnn/openpose.cpp, and samples/dnn/segmentation.cpp.
