Ok, I tried to change typedefs to make things more clear, but I guess I have had a mess. I will try to explain it again:

I am trying to use the class CpuPreprocessor publicly available here: https://bitbucket.org/rodrigob/doppia/src/8b784ff23eeab329d02ebe2eb1bc4775e277444e/src/video_input/preprocessing/CpuPreprocessor.hpp?at=default

To do so, I create a shared pointer pointing to an object of the class:

shared_ptr<CpuPreprocessor> homography_rectifier_p;

homography_rectifier_p.reset(new CpuPreprocessor(video_input_p->get_left_image().dimensions(),

video_input_p->get_stereo_calibration(),

options));

Then, I try to execute the `run` method of the class CpuPreprocessor, which has the prototype:

void run(const AbstractPreprocessor::input_image_view_t& input, const int camera_index,

const AbstractPreprocessor::output_image_view_t &output);

// I get the input images

AbstractStereoMatcher::input_image_view_t

input_left_view(video_input_p->get_left_image()),

input_right_view(video_input_p->get_right_image());

// And then I try to put them as input of the run function, doing the same process followed in https://bitbucket.org/rodrigob/doppia/src/8b784ff23eeab329d02ebe2eb1bc4775e277444e/src/video_input/VideoFromFiles.cpp?at=default#cl-293

AbstractVideoInput::input_image_t

rectified_left_view(input_left_view._dynamic_cast<AbstractVideoInput::input_image_t>()),

rectified_right_view(input_right_view._dynamic_cast<AbstractVideoInput::input_image_t>());

homography_rectifier_p->run(input_left_view, 0, boost::gil::view(rectified_left_view));

// The ouput of the compiler is the following:

// Finally, the typedefs for the types of the variables used in this post are the following:

/// input image are either rgb8 or gray8

typedef boost::mpl::vector<boost::gil::gray8_image_t, boost::gil::rgb8_image_t> input_images_t;

// FIXME some applications may need float instead of bits8

typedef boost::gil::gray8_image_t disparity_map_t;

//From https://bitbucket.org/rodrigob/doppia/src/8b784ff23eeab329d02ebe2eb1bc4775e277444e/src/video_input/AbstractVideoInput.hpp?at=default#cl-23

typedef boost::gil::rgb8_image_t input_image_t;

typedef boost::gil::rgb8c_view_t input_image_view_t;

typedef input_image_view_t::point_t dimensions_t;

I hope somebody can help me with that. As I said, I'm new on using Boost Generic Image Library and it is driving me crazy.

Thank you in advance, best regards.

Hi Néstor,

I currently have an image of the type ` boost::gil::rgb8c_view_t`. I need to pass it to a function (from a code I don't mantain) with this prototype:

void function(const boost::gil::rgb8c_view_t& input, const int index, const boost::gil::rgb8c_view_t::view_t &output)

I have created an output image by using the following syntax:

boost::gil::rgb8c_view_t::view_t output(input._dynamic_cast<boost::gil::rgb8c_view_t::view_t>());

At this point, the compiler accepts the image output as input for the function. However, I need the image back to the `boost::gil::rgb8c_view_t` type. The question is:

- Is it a correct way to allocate the image output?
- How do I transform it back to the type boost::gil::rgb8c_view_t?

I'm having trouble parsing your syntax here. It looks like input is not really an rgb8c_view_t, rather its an any_image type. If it were the gil-specified typedef, there wouldn't be a _dynamic_cast member. Likewise output appears to be the same, with a nested view_t typedef.

Are you saying that function is the prototype over which you have no control? It seems odd that it would have an output view which has immutable pixels (due to the 'c' in rgb8c) and which could not itself be swapped out for a different view (due to the fact that it's a view passed by const reference).

I'm hoping there's been some mistake in copying pieces of your code into this email, otherwise there's only bad solutions to what you describe.

HTH,
Nate
