Mat and QImage

In Chapter 3, Creating a Comprehensive Qt+OpenCV Project, we learned about the basic rules of creating a comprehensive and sustainable application that can look appealing, support multiple languages, and be easily extendable by using the plugins system in Qt. We're now going to expand our knowledge base regarding the foundations of a computer vision application even more by learning about the classes and structures responsible for handling computer vision data types. Learning about the basic structures and data types required by both the OpenCV and Qt frameworks is the first step in understanding how the underlying computer vision functions that process them perform when executed in an application. OpenCV is a computer vision framework that aims for speed and performance. Qt on the other hand, is a growing application development framework with a massive number...
