Shift image content with OpenCV

Question

Starting from an image, I would like to shift its content upward of 10 pixels, without changing size and filling in black the sub image (width x 10px) on the bo

Answer 1

Here is a function I wrote, based on Zaw Lin's answer, to do frame/image shift in any direction by any amount of pixel rows or columns:

enum Direction{
    ShiftUp=1, ShiftRight, ShiftDown, ShiftLeft
   };

cv::Mat shiftFrame(cv::Mat frame, int pixels, Direction direction)
{
    //create a same sized temporary Mat with all the pixels flagged as invalid (-1)
    cv::Mat temp = cv::Mat::zeros(frame.size(), frame.type());

    switch (direction)
    {
    case(ShiftUp) :
        frame(cv::Rect(0, pixels, frame.cols, frame.rows - pixels)).copyTo(temp(cv::Rect(0, 0, temp.cols, temp.rows - pixels)));
        break;
    case(ShiftRight) :
        frame(cv::Rect(0, 0, frame.cols - pixels, frame.rows)).copyTo(temp(cv::Rect(pixels, 0, frame.cols - pixels, frame.rows)));
        break;
    case(ShiftDown) :
        frame(cv::Rect(0, 0, frame.cols, frame.rows - pixels)).copyTo(temp(cv::Rect(0, pixels, frame.cols, frame.rows - pixels)));
        break;
    case(ShiftLeft) :
        frame(cv::Rect(pixels, 0, frame.cols - pixels, frame.rows)).copyTo(temp(cv::Rect(0, 0, frame.cols - pixels, frame.rows)));
        break;
    default:
        std::cout << "Shift direction is not set properly" << std::endl;
    }

    return temp;
}
