Convert a single color with cvtColor

I have a color that I want to convert to a different color space. Is it possible to use cvtColor on a cv::Vec3f directly without creating a 1x1 cv::Mat and populating it with that pixel, using cvtColor on the cv::Mat, then getting the only pixel out of the output? I have tried the following, but it doesn't seem to like getting passed a vector.

Any suggestions?

#include <iostream>

#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>

int main(int, char*[])
{
    cv::Vec3f hsv;
    hsv[0] = .9;
    hsv[1] = .8;
    hsv[2] = .7;

    std::cout << "HSV: " << hsv << std::endl;

    cv::Vec3b bgr;
    cvtColor(hsv, bgr, CV_HSV2BGR); // OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (scn == 3 && (dcn == 3 || dcn == 4) && (depth == CV_8U || depth == CV_32F)) in cvtColor

    std::cout << "BGR: " << bgr << std::endl; 

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

I also tried this, but get a different error:

#include <iostream>

#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>

int main(int, char*[])
{
    cv::Mat_<cv::Vec3f> hsv(cv::Vec3f(0.7, 0.7, 0.8));

    std::cout << "HSV: " << hsv << std::endl;

    cv::Mat_<cv::Vec3b> bgr;

    cvtColor(hsv, bgr, CV_HSV2BGR); // OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (!fixedType() || ((Mat*)obj)->type() == mtype) in create

    std::cout << "BGR: " << bgr << std::endl;

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

What is cvtColor function?

cvtColor() method is used to convert an image from one color space to another. There are more than 150 color-space conversion methods available in OpenCV.

What is RGB to HSV color space in opencv2?

Since OpenCV represents our image in BGR order rather than RGB, we specify the cv2. COLOR_BGR2HSV flag to indicate that we want to convert from BGR to HSV.

How do I convert RGB to BGR in OpenCV?

We can use cvtColor() method to convert a BGR image to RGB and vice-versa. Parameter: cv2. COLOR_BGR2RGB – BGR image is converted to RGB.

What is COLOR_BGR2LAB?

COLOR_BGR2LAB: This code is used to change the BGR color space to LAB color space.20-Apr-2020.

Your second approach is correct, but you have source and destination of different types in cvtColor, and that causes the error.

Be sure to have both hsv and bgr of the same type, CV_32F here:

#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    cv::Mat3f hsv(cv::Vec3f(0.7, 0.7, 0.8));

    std::cout << "HSV: " << hsv << std::endl;

    cv::Mat3f bgr;
    cvtColor(hsv, bgr, CV_HSV2BGR); 

    std::cout << "BGR: " << bgr << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

You can use Mat3f for brevity. It's just a typedef:

typedef Mat_<Vec3f> Mat3f;
