I'm, developing an ios application that uses some opencv functionality (remove background, edge detections etc.)
Amongst other things, I load transparent images (pngs). From some reason when I load the images opencv decides to ignore some transparent areas while respecting others. I can see this by converting my semi transparent UIImage to an IplImage and then back to UIImage (without doing any operation on the iplimage) and saving both images to the local file.
This is the code I'm using for converting the UIImage to an IplImage and backwards:
- (IplImage *)CreateIplImageFromUIImageWithTransparency:(UIImage *)image {
// Getting CGImage from UIImage
CGImageRef imageRef = image.CGImage;
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
// Creating temporal IplImage for drawing
IplImage *iplimage = cvCreateImage(
cvSize(image.size.width,image.size.height), IPL_DEPTH_8U, 4
);
// Creating CGContext for temporal IplImage
CGContextRef contextRef = CGBitmapContextCreate(
iplimage->imageData, iplimage->width, iplimage->height,
iplimage->depth, iplimage->widthStep,
colorSpace, kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast|kCGBitmapByteOrderDefault
);
// Drawing CGImage to CGContext
CGContextDrawImage(
contextRef,
CGRectMake(0, 0, image.size.width, image.size.height),
imageRef
);
CGContextRelease(contextRef);
CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
// Creating result IplImage
IplImage *ret = cvCreateImage(cvGetSize(iplimage), IPL_DEPTH_8U, 4);
cvCvtColor(iplimage, ret, CV_RGBA2BGRA);
cvReleaseImage(&iplimage);
return ret;
}
- (UIImage *)UIImageFromIplImage:(IplImage *)image {
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithBytes:image->imageData length:image->imageSize];
CGDataProviderRef provider = CGDataProviderCreateWithCFData((__bridge CFDataRef)data);
CGImageRef imageRef = CGImageCreate(image->width, image->height,
image->depth, image->depth * image->nChannels, image->widthStep,
colorSpace, kCGBitmapByteOrderDefault | kCGImageAlphaLast ,
provider, NULL, false, kCGRenderingIntentDefault);
UIImage *ret = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageRef];
CGImageRelease(imageRef);
CGDataProviderRelease(provider);
CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
return ret;
}
What could be causing this behavior?
Thank you
This code works for me. I modified the code from here
Reading from UIImage
-(cv::Mat)CVMat
{
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGImageGetColorSpace(self.CGImage);
CGFloat cols = self.size.width;
CGFloat rows = self.size.height;
cv::Mat cvMat(rows, cols, CV_8UC4); // 8 bits per component, 4 channels
CGContextRef contextRef = CGBitmapContextCreate(cvMat.data, // Pointer to backing data
cols, // Width of bitmap
rows, // Height of bitmap
8, // Bits per component
cvMat.step[0], // Bytes per row
colorSpace, // Colorspace
//kCGImageAlphaNoneSkipLast |
kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast |
kCGBitmapByteOrderDefault); // Bitmap info flags
CGContextDrawImage(contextRef, CGRectMake(0, 0, cols, rows), self.CGImage);
CGContextRelease(contextRef);
return cvMat;
}
Converting back to UIImage:
+ (UIImage *)imageWithCVMat:(const cv::Mat&)cvMat
{
return [[UIImage alloc] initWithCVMat:cvMat];
}
- (id)initWithCVMat:(const cv::Mat&)cvMat
{
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithBytes:cvMat.data length:cvMat.elemSize() * cvMat.total()];
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace;
if (cvMat.elemSize() == 1)
{
colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceGray();
}
else
{
colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
}
CGDataProviderRef provider = CGDataProviderCreateWithCFData((__bridge CFDataRef)data);
CGImageRef imageRef = CGImageCreate(cvMat.cols, // Width
cvMat.rows, // Height
8, // Bits per component
8 * cvMat.elemSize(), // Bits per pixel
cvMat.step[0], // Bytes per row
colorSpace, // Colorspace
kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast | kCGBitmapByteOrderDefault, // Bitmap info flags
provider, // CGDataProviderRef
NULL, // Decode
false, // Should interpolate
kCGRenderingIntentDefault); // Intent
self = [self initWithCGImage:imageRef];
CGImageRelease(imageRef);
CGDataProviderRelease(provider);
CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
return self;
}
