Conversion from IplImage* to cv::MAT

Question

I searched to convert an IplImage* to Mat, but all answers were about the conversion to cvMat.

How, can I do it? and what is the difference between Mat and cvMat?

Answer 1

For the records: taking a look at core/src/matrix.cpp it seems that, indeed, the constructor cv::Mat(IplImage*) has disappeared.

But I found this alternative:

IplImage * ipl = ...;
cv::Mat m = cv::cvarrToMat(ipl);  // default additional arguments: don't copy data.
