Converting RGBA to YUV422 format using c++ - not getting proper output

问题

I want to convert an image from RGBA to YUV422 format. Below is my code:

#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include "opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp"
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;

#define CLIP(X) ( (X) > 255 ? 255 : (X) < 0 ? 0 : X)
#define RGB2Y(R, G, B) CLIP(( (  66 * (R) + 129 * (G) +  25 * (B) + 128) >> 8) +  16)
#define RGB2U(R, G, B) CLIP(( ( -38 * (R) -  74 * (G) + 112 * (B) + 128) >> 8) + 128)
#define RGB2V(R, G, B) CLIP(( ( 112 * (R) -  94 * (G) -  18 * (B) + 128) >> 8) + 128)

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

    Mat in_img, in_RGB, out_yuv;
    in_img = imread(argv[1],1);
    if(!in_img.data)
    {
        printf("Failed to load the image ... %s\n!", argv[1]);
        return -1;
    }
    short imgwidth  = in_img.cols;
    short imgheight = in_img.rows;

    cvtColor(in_img, in_RGB, CV_BGR2RGB);  
    out_yuv.create(imgheight, imgwidth, CV_16U);

    imwrite("RGB.jpg",in_RGB);

    for(int i = 0; i< imgheight; i++)
        for(int j = 0; j< imgwidth; j = j+2) {
            unsigned int val = in_RGB.at<unsigned int>(i,j);

/*********** for 1st pixel ***********/
            unsigned int tmp = val;
            unsigned char B = (unsigned char)(((tmp<<16) >> 24) | 0x000000ff ); //Extracting B channel data

            tmp = val;
            unsigned char G = (unsigned char)(((tmp<<8) >> 24) | 0x000000ff ); //Extracting G channel data

            tmp = val;
            unsigned char R = (unsigned char)((tmp >> 24) | 0x000000ff );  //Extracting R channel data

            unsigned char Y1 = RGB2Y(R, G, B);
            unsigned char U = RGB2U(R, G, B);
            unsigned char V = RGB2V(R, G, B);

/*********** for 2nd pixel ***********/
            unsigned int val1 = in_RGB.at<unsigned int>(i,j+1);
            unsigned int tmp1 = val1;
            unsigned char B1 = (unsigned char)(((tmp1<<16) >> 24) | 0x000000ff );

            tmp1 = val1;
            unsigned char G1 = (unsigned char)(((tmp1<<8) >> 24) | 0x000000ff );

            tmp1 = val1;
            unsigned char R1 = (unsigned char)((tmp1 >> 24) | 0x000000ff );

            unsigned char Y2 = RGB2Y(R, G, B);

/********** writing into out image in U-Y1-V-Y2 format *********************/

        unsigned short p1 = ((U << 8) | Y1) ;
        unsigned short p2 = ((V << 8) | Y2) ;
        out_yuv.at<unsigned short>(i,j) = p1;
        out_yuv.at<unsigned short>(i,j+1) = p2;

    }
        imwrite("YUV422.png",out_yuv);
return 0;   
}

But am not getting a proper output image. I also tried writing it in Y1-U-Y2-V format, still same output. What could be wrong with the above code or is it the output image format(.png/.jpg) that's creating the probelm? (cv::imwrite doesn't allow saving in .yuv format)

回答1:

out_yuv.create(imgheight, imgwidth, CV_16U);
...
imwrite("YUV422.png",out_yuv);

Several issues here :

• imwrite considers CV_16U to be mono channel.
• You cannot write yuv inside png. You have to dump the data raw, and use a special yuv viewer such as raw yuvplayer to make sure your data is correct.

Edit:
Note that raw pixels acronyms are kinda big endian, ie the leftmost value is the least significant byte in memory (most of the time, video people love confusion)

• RGBA means R = RGB[0], G = RGB[1], B = RGB[2], A = RGB[3]
• YUYV means in a buffer p means p[0] is Y0, p[1] is U, p[2] is Y1, p[3] is V

You are doing the exact opposite with your shifts:)

Edit 2: If your image is still scrambled, you seem to be willing to write following the planar format (YUV422P akaYV16). Planar format means each channel is on a separate, contiguous plane. It is clearer to use a plain old buffer for the target data(unsigned char*, or std::vector<unsigned char>).

unsigned char* out_yuv_ptr = new unsigned char[imgwidth*imgheight*2];
unsigned char* y_ptr = out_yuv_ptr;
unsigned char* u_ptr = y_ptr + imgwidth*imgheight;
unsigned char* v_ptr = u_ptr + imgwidth*imgheight/2;
...
*y_ptr = Y1;
++y_ptr
*y_ptr = Y2;
++y_ptr
*u_ptr = U;
++u_ptr;
*v_ptr = V;
++v_ptr;
