Resize an image with OpenCV cvResize function

Last Updated on Friday, 19 March 2010 07:13

This is a small code to resize an image to a desired percentage from an original. New size of width and height are calculated from a percentage supplied as a 3th argument. Supplying 100% will simply copy the original image to new image.

cvResize also accepts an interpolation argument, however in case of this small program we use the default linear interpolation.

#include <iostream>
#include "cv.h"
#include "highgui.h"

using namespace std;

int main( int argc, char** argv )

{
// Create an IplImage object *image 
IplImage *source = cvLoadImage( argv[1]);
// Here we retrieve a percentage value to a integer
int percent = atoi(argv[3]);

// declare a destination IplImage object with correct size, depth and channels
      IplImage *destination = cvCreateImage
( cvSize((int)((source->width*percent)/100) , (int)((source->height*percent)/100) ),
                                     source->depth, source->nChannels );

//use cvResize to resize source to a destination image
cvResize(source, destination);

// save image with a name supplied with a second argument
      cvSaveImage( argv[2], destination );


return 0;

}

Compile:

g++ `pkg-config opencv --cflags --libs` resize_image.cpp -o resize_image

Usage:

./resize_image dsc00056.jpg new_dsc00056.jpg 65%
