The umat class tells opencv functions to process images with an opencl specific code which uses an opencl enabled gpu if exists in the system automatically switching to cpu otherwise.
Opencv mat performance.
The 4 values rows cols type and data are all that is required to represent an image buffer of any format as an opencv mat.
I even find that opencv can get better performance on data you gave us.
More ipython magic commands.
The mat is just a simple container for actual image data.
Although some developers never heard about umat class and its advantages.
Direct access to v4l2 memory.
Everyone that uses opencv is familiar with cv mat.
There are several other magic commands to measure performance profiling line profiling memory measurement and.
23 1s on my computer intel i7 8gb ram with opencv 2 4 1 the time elapsed is the computation loop is approx.
Normally opencv functions are faster than numpy functions.
With opencv 4 1 1 the time elapsed is the computation loop is approx.
N dimensional dense array class.
The class mat represents an n dimensional dense numerical single channel or multi channel array.
We ran this test program.
This feature was leveraged to make the camera image data accessible to opencv.
The image data from any camera can be.
But there can be exceptions especially when numpy works with views instead of copies.
I didn t find such bug in opencv 3 2 when i run your code.
In this case the time elapsed is the computation loop is approx.
Without opencv removing the two cv mat lines the opencv library is not linked.
It can be used to store real or complex valued vectors and matrices grayscale or color images voxel volumes vector fields point clouds tensors histograms though very high dimensional histograms may be better stored in a sparsemat.
