I am working with OpenCV and C++. I have a matrix X like this
Mat X = Mat::zeros(13,6,CV_32FC1);
and I want to update just a submatrix 4x3 of i
One of the quickest ways is setting a header matrix pointing to the range of columns/rows you want to update, like this:
Mat aux = X.colRange(4,7).rowRange(4,8); // you are pointing to submatrix 4x3 at X(4,4)
Now, you can copy your matrix to aux (but actually you will be copying it to X, because aux is just a pointer):
mat43.copyTo(aux);
Thats it.
First, you have to create a matrix that points to the original one:
Mat orig(13,6,CV_32FC1, Scalar::all(0));
Mat roi(orig(cv::Rect(1,1,4,3))); // now, it points to the original matrix;
Mat otherMatrix = Mat::eye(4,3,CV_32FC1);
roi.setTo(5); // OK
roi = 4.7f; // OK
otherMatrix.copyTo(roi); // OK
Keep in mind that any operations that involves direct attribution, with the "=" sign from another matrix will change the roi matrix source from orig to that other matrix.
// Wrong. Roi will point to otherMatrix, and orig remains unchanged
roi = otherMatrix;
