How to read multiple images from a folder in open cv (using C)

Question

I am new to open CV and C. How do i specify multiple images for the same kind of operation.

Answer 1

if your images are (sequentially) numbered, you could abuse a hidden feature with VideoCapture, just pass it a (format) string:

VideoCapture cap("/my/folder/p%05d.jpg"); // would work with: "/my/folder/p00013.jpg", etc
while( cap.isOpened() )
{
    Mat img;
    cap.read(img);
    // process(img);
}
