ToOpenCV

Converts Simulink data types to OpenCV data types

Since R2020a

Libraries:
Computer Vision Toolbox Interface for OpenCV in Simulink

Description

The ToOpenCV block converts the Simulink^® data types to Simulink OpenCV data types.

Examples

Smile Detection by Using OpenCV Code in Simulink

Build a smile detector by using the OpenCV Importer app. The detector estimates the intensity of the smile on a face image or a video. Based on the estimated intensity, the detector identifies an appropriate emoji from its database, and then places the emoji on the smiling face.

Convert RGB Image to Grayscale Image by Using OpenCV Importer

Convert an RGB image to a grayscale image by using the OpenCV Importer app. The converter converts an RGB image to a grayscale image by eliminating the hue and saturation information while retaining the luminance.

Ports

Inputs

Port_1 — Input signal

scalar | vector | matrix | simulink bus | simulink image

Input signal to the ToOpenCV block. The input can be of different data types. Each of the input data types determines the output data type of the block.

Data Types: uint8 | uint16 | int8 | int16 | int32 | single | double | Simulink.ImageType | CV_DMATCH_BUS | CV_RECT_BUS | CV_ROTATEDRECT_BUS | CV_TERMCRITERIA_BUS | CV_SIZE_BUS | CV_RANGE_BUS | CV_POINT2I_BUS | CV_POINT2F_BUS | CV_POINT2D_BUS | CV_POINT3I_BUS | CV_POINT3F_BUS | CV_POINT3D_BUS

Output

Port_1 — Output signal

scalar | vector | matrix | simulink bus | simulink image

Output signal from the ToOpenCV block. The output signal supports OpenCV types. For more information, see Mapping Input and Output Data Types.

Data Types: OpenCV types

Parameters
