OpenCV - could not find encoder for the specified extension

Question

Here is my code I am using to convert *IplImage to jpg:

IplImage* fIplImageHeader;
fIplImageHeader = cvCreateImageHeader(cvSize(160, 120), 8, 3);
fIplImageHeader         


        

Answer 1

Ok. I've figured this out. This works:

cv::imencode(".jpg", fIplImageHeader, buf, p);

They should mention it somewhere in the documentation that there should be a full stop before extension.
