Conversion from IplImage* to cv::MAT

Question

I searched to convert an IplImage* to Mat, but all answers were about the conversion to cvMat.

How, can I do it? and what is the difference between Mat and cvMat?

Answer 1

The recommended way is the cv::cvarrToMat function

cv::Mat - is base data structure for OpenCV 2.x

CvMat - is old C analog of cv::Mat
