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

Check out the Mat documentation.

// converts old-style IplImage to the new matrix; the data is not copied by default
Mat(const IplImage* img, bool copyData=false);
