• cv::Mat CV_8UC3 -> ncnn::Mat 3 channel + swap RGB/BGR

// cv::Mat a(h, w, CV_8UC3);
ncnn::Mat in = ncnn::Mat::from_pixels(a.data, ncnn::Mat::PIXEL_BGR2RGB, a.cols, a.rows);

• cv::Mat CV_8UC3 -> ncnn::Mat 3 channel + keep RGB/BGR order

// cv::Mat a(h, w, CV_8UC3);
ncnn::Mat in = ncnn::Mat::from_pixels(a.data, ncnn::Mat::PIXEL_RGB, a.cols, a.rows);

• cv::Mat CV_8UC3 -> ncnn::Mat 1 channel + do RGB2GRAY/BGR2GRAY

// cv::Mat rgb(h, w, CV_8UC3);
ncnn::Mat inrgb = ncnn::Mat::from_pixels(rgb.data, ncnn::Mat::PIXEL_RGB2GRAY, rgb.cols, rgb.rows);

// cv::Mat bgr(h, w, CV_8UC3);

• cv::Mat CV_8UC1 -> ncnn::Mat 1 channel

// cv::Mat a(h, w, CV_8UC1);
ncnn::Mat in = ncnn::Mat::from_pixels(a.data, ncnn::Mat::PIXEL_GRAY, a.cols, a.rows);

• cv::Mat CV_32FC1 -> ncnn::Mat 1 channel

  • You could construct ncnn::Mat and fill data into it directly to avoid data copy

// cv::Mat a(h, w, CV_32FC1);
ncnn::Mat in(a.cols, a.rows, 1, (void*)a.data);
in = in.clone();

• cv::Mat CV_32FC3 -> ncnn::Mat 3 channel

  • You could construct ncnn::Mat and fill data into it directly to avoid data copy

// cv::Mat a(h, w, CV_32FC3);
ncnn::Mat in_pack3(a.cols, a.rows, 1, (void*)a.data, (size_t)4u * 3, 3);
ncnn::Mat in;
ncnn::convert_packing(in_pack3, in, 1);

• std::vector < cv::Mat > + CV_32FC1 -> ncnn::Mat multiple channels

  • You could construct ncnn::Mat and fill data into it directly to avoid data copy

// std::vector<cv::Mat> a(channels, cv::Mat(h, w, CV_32FC1));
int channels = a.size();
ncnn::Mat in(a[0].cols, a[0].rows, channels);
for (int p=0; p<in.c; p++)

• ncnn::Mat 3 channel -> cv::Mat CV_8UC3 + swap RGB/BGR

  • You may need to call in.substract_mean_normalize() first to scale values from 0..1 to 0..255
