opencv Contrast and Brightness in C++ Adjusting brightness and contrast of an image in c++
Example
// main.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include <iostream>
using namespace cv;
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, const char** argv)
{
Mat img = imread("lena30.jpg", CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR); //open and read the image
if (img.empty())
{
cout << "Image cannot be loaded..!!" << endl;
return -1;
}
Mat img_higher_contrast;
img.convertTo(img_higher_contrast, -1, 2, 0); //increase the contrast (double)
Mat img_lower_contrast;
img.convertTo(img_lower_contrast, -1, 0.5, 0); //decrease the contrast (halve)
Mat img_higher_brightness;
img.convertTo(img_higher_brightness, -1, 1, 20); //increase the brightness by 20 for each pixel
Mat img_lower_brightness;
img.convertTo(img_lower_brightness, -1, 1, -20); //decrease the brightness by 20 for each pixel
//create windows
namedWindow("Original Image", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
namedWindow("High Contrast", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
namedWindow("Low Contrast", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
namedWindow("High Brightness", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
namedWindow("Low Brightness", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
//show the image
imshow("Original Image", img);
imshow("High Contrast", img_higher_contrast);
imshow("Low Contrast", img_lower_contrast);
imshow("High Brightness", img_higher_brightness);
imshow("Low Brightness", img_lower_brightness);
waitKey(0); //wait for key press
destroyAllWindows(); //destroy all open windows
return 0;
}
