Accessing pixel value of an image using vec3b function

We want to obtain the pixel value of an image:

Let us consider a 3 channel image of BGR color ordering

(The BGR color ordering is the default order returned  by imread)

Here the order of the channel is reverse

(We generally use RGB color model while describing about an image.In BGR the color model is same except the order of the channel is reverse)

1. The code for reading value of the pixel at the co-ordinates(x,y)

Vec3b imagepixel = image.at(x,y);

/*Reading the pixel value of an image at a particular location*/
#include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>  
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>  
#include <iostream> 

  using namespace std;  
  using namespace cv;  

int main() 
  {  
    Mat image; 
 //Reading the color image 
    image = imread("C:\\Users\\arjun\\Desktop\\image003.png", CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);  

  if (!image.data)             //If image not found                                                             
     {  
      cout << "No image data \n";  
      return -1;  
     } 
       Vec3b imagepixel = image.at<Vec3b>(250,500); //Reading pixel value at location (i,j)
    cout<<"imagepixel(BGR)="<<imagepixel<<"\n" ; //Displaying the pixel value  
       
        namedWindow("Display Image");               //Display the original image
  imshow("Display Image", image);  
  waitKey(0);
  return 0;
      }

2. Code for dynamically entering the co-ordinates of the image by the user:

/*Reading the pixel value of an image at a particular location*/


#include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>  
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>  
#include <iostream> 

  using namespace std;  
  using namespace cv;  

int main() 
  {  
    Mat image; 
 //Reading the color image 
    image = imread("C:\\Users\\arjun\\Desktop\\image003.png", CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);  

 //If image not found  
       if (!image.data)                                                             
     {  
      cout << "No image data \n";  
      return -1;  
     } 


    while(1)
  {
     //Taking inputs from the user for the co-ordinates of the image 
     int i,j;
     cout<<"Enter the co-ordinates of the image where you want to find the pixel value (i,j): \n";
  cout<<"i<"<<image.rows<<"\t"<<"&"<<"\t"<<"j<"<<image.cols<<"\n";
     
  cout<<"i= ";  cin>>i;
     cout<<"j= ";  cin>>j;
    
  if(i < image.rows) 
    { 
            if(j < image.cols)
   {
           //Reading pixel value at location (i,j)
              Vec3b imagepixel = image.at<Vec3b>(i,j); 
           //Displaying the pixel value                                                        
              cout<<"imagepixel(BGR)="<<imagepixel<<"\n" ;
          }  
        }
      else
        { 
      cout<<"Image Co-ordinates value out of range \n"; 
        }

      }
        return 0; 
      }

3. Code for accessing the full pixel value of an image just by using cout function:

Here we have used cout;

See the difference between Code 3. and Code4.

Code:

/*Displaying the Pixel value of the whole Image*/
#include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>  
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>  
#include <iostream> 

  using namespace std;  
  using namespace cv;  

int main() 
  {  
    Mat image; 
 //Reading the color image 
    image = imread("C:\\Users\\arjun\\Desktop\\image003.png", CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);  

  if (!image.data)             //If image not found                                                             
     {  
      cout << "No image data \n";  
      return -1;  
     } 
    cout<<image ;              //Displaying the pixel value  of the whole image
    namedWindow("Display Image");               //Display the original image
    imshow("Display Image", image);  
    waitKey(0);
    return 0;
      }

4. Code for accessing the full pixel value of an image just by using for loop and Vec3b function:

/*Displaying the Pixel value of the whole Image using Loops*/

#include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>  
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>  
#include <iostream> 

  using namespace std;  
  using namespace cv;  

int main() 
  {  
    Mat image; 
 //Reading the color image 
    image = imread("C:\\Users\\arjun\\Desktop\\image003.png", CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);  

 //If image not found 
 if (!image.data)                                                                          
     {  
      cout << "No image data \n";  
      return -1;  
     } 


 //for loop for counting the number of rows and columns and displaying the pixel value at each point
   for (int i = 0; i < image.rows; i++) 
   { 
      for (int j = 0; j < image.cols; j++) 
    { 
         Vec3b imagepixel = image.at<Vec3b>(i, j);
      cout<<imagepixel ;   //Displaying the pixel value  of the whole image
     } 
   }
     namedWindow("Display Image");               //Display the original image
     imshow("Display Image", image);  
      waitKey(0);
      return 0;
        }

Here we have used for loops along with Vec3b to display the pixel value at each row and column.

Note the difference in the output of the two codes.

In the output of the 4th code all the pixel values are represented in BGR format as [ B,G,R] e.g [0,0,255].
