Loading images (using their RGB (A) data) in openGL textures
In the main function:
img = cvLoadImage("test.JPG");
//openCV functions to load and create matrix
CvMat *mat = cvCreateMat(img->height,img->width,CV_8SC3 );
cvGetMat( img, mat,0,1);
//creating the 3-dimensional array during runtime
data = new float**[img->height];
for(int i=0;i<img->height;i++){
data[i] = new float*[img->width];
}
for(int i=0;i<img->height;i++){
for(int j=0;j<img->width;j++)
data[i][j] = new float[3];
}
//setting RGB values
for(int i=0;i<img->height;i++)
{
for(int j=0;j<img->width;j++)
{
CvScalar scal = cvGet2D( mat,i,j);
data[i][j][0] = scal.val[0];
data[i][j][1] = scal.val[1];
data[i][j][2] = scal.val[2];
}
}
I am using openCV to get the pixel data of an image by storing it in a dynamically created "data" matrix. Now create textures and bind them:
glGenTextures(1,&texName);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S,GL_REPEAT);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T,GL_REPEAT);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_NEAREST);
glTexEnvf(GL_TEXTURE_ENV,GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE,GL_MODULATE);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0 ,GL_RGB, img->width,img->height,0,GL_RGB,GL_FLOAT,data);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texName);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glTexCoord2f(0,0);
glVertex3f(-1,-1,0);
glTexCoord2f(0,1);
glVertex3f(-1,1,0);
glTexCoord2f(1,1);
glVertex3f(1,1,0);
glTexCoord2f(1,0);
glVertex3f(1,-1,0);
glEnd();
There are no compilation errors, but at runtime the window displays a square that I made, but not the image that I was trying to convert to a texture.
How do I achieve loading any image into a texture using the pixel data I am extracting with openCV. I have printed the RGB values and they seem legal enough and the number of triplets printed will be as expected.

glBindTexture
should be called before calls glTexParemeteri
... glTexImage2D
so openGL knows what texture you are setting up.
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glGenTextures(1,&texName);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texName);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S,GL_REPEAT);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T,GL_REPEAT);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_NEAREST);
glTexEnvf(GL_TEXTURE_ENV,GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE,GL_MODULATE);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0 ,GL_RGB, img->width,img->height,0,GL_RGB,GL_FLOAT,data);
More importantly, you are not setting your variable data
correctly:
float* data = new float[img->height * img->width * 3];
for (int i = 0; i < img->height; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < img->width; j++)
{
CvScalar scal = cvGet2D(mat, i, j);
data[(i * img->width + j) + 0] = scal.val[0];
data[(i * img->width + j) + 1] = scal.val[1];
data[(i * img->width + j) + 2] = scal.val[2];
}
}
Also, you might need to reorder the color components and / or convert them to the range 0..1, I don't know how openCV loads images.
