It depends on the image from which you are trying to retrieve the data.
Mat data type 15 when trying to write logcomression images.
If you have an image img which is a numpy array you can convert it into string using.
Before getting started let s install opencv.
If matrix is of type cv 8s then use mat at schar y x.
Floating point numbers in ieee 754 single and double precision are also supported.
These are the high level functions you will most likely use when working with.
Img str cv2 imencode jpg img 1 tostring type img str str now you can easily store the image inside your database and then recover it by using.
Among the many options you will find.
If matrix is of type cv 8u then use mat at uchar y x.
Save a dictionary of names and arrays into a matlab style mat file.
If matrix is of type cv 16u then use mat at ushort y x.
It s used to process images videos and even live streams but in this tutorial we will process images only as a first step.
Filename rate data write a numpy array as a wav.
In this tutorial you will learn how you can process images in python using the opencv library.
In the early days of computing data consisted primarily of text and numbers but in modern day computing there are lots of different multimedia data types such as audio images graphics and video.
The table below gives a better insight in this.
Opencv is a free open source library used in real time image processing.
Another advantage that we get if we rely on the opencv functions as much as possible is that we are guaranteed that the code that runs is heavily optimized and efficient in terms of memory and runtime.
If matrix is of type cv 16s then use mat at short y x.
