Working with Matrices

Depth as Generic Parameter

A Matrix is defined by its generic parameters depth. To create a 32bit floating point matrix, in Emgu CV it is done by calling

Matrix<Single> matrix = new Matrix<Single>(width, height);

Matrix Depth

The types of depth supported in Emgu CV 1.4.0.0 include

• Byte
• SByte
• Single (float)
• Double
• UInt16
• Int16
• Int32 (int)

XML Serialization

Conversion to XML

You can use the following code to convert an Matrix<double> matrix to XmlDocument:

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
(new XmlSerializer(typeof(Matrix<double>))).Serialize(new StringWriter(sb), o);
XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
xDoc.LoadXml(sb.ToString());

Conversion from XML

You can use the following code to convert a XmlDocument xDoc to Matrix<double>

Matrix<double> matrix = (Matrix<double>) 
(new XmlSerializer(typeof(Matrix<double>))).Deserialize(new XmlNodeReader(xDoc));
