OpenCV cv::Mat 'ones' for multi-channel matrix?

Question

When working with 1-channel (e.g. CV_8UC1) Mat objects in OpenCV, this creates a Mat of all ones: cv::Mat img = cv::Mat::ones(x,y,CV_8UC1).

Answer 1

You can also initialize like this:

Mat img;

/// Lots of stuff here ...

// Need to initialize again for some reason:
img = Mat::Mat(Size(width, height), CV_8UC3, CV_RGB(255,255,255));
