Using that simple program how can I access to different channels:

void imageCallback(const sensor_msgs::ImageConstPtr& msg)
    {

        cv_bridge::CvImagePtr cv_ptr;
        try
        {
            cv_ptr = cv_bridge::toCvCopy(msg, sensor_msgs::image_encodings::BGR8);
        }

        catch (cv_bridge::Exception& e)
        {
            ROS_ERROR("cv_bridge exception: %s", e.what());
            return;
        }


        cv::imshow("OpenCV viewer uEye RGB", cv_ptr->image);
        cv::waitKey(3);

    }

How can I access to different channel using cv_ptr ?

cv_ptr->image is an instance of cv::Mat ( http://docs.opencv.org/modules/core/d... ). There are serveral ways to access the channels, e. g.:

split up to entire image separate images:

std::vector<cv::Mat> channels;
cv::split( cv_ptr->image, channels );

cv::imshow("OpenCV viewer uEye RGB Blue", channels[0] );
cv::imshow("OpenCV viewer uEye RGB Red", channels[1] );
cv::imshow("OpenCV viewer uEye RGB Green", channels[2] );
cv::waitKey(3);

or access one pixel:

cv::Vec3b rgb_pix = cv_ptr->image.at<cv::Vec3b>( 10, 10 );

ROS_INFO_STREAM( "Blue value at pos 10, 10" << static_cast<int>( rgb_pix[0] ) );
ROS_INFO_STREAM( "Green value at pos 10, 10" << static_cast<int>( rgb_pix[1] ) );
ROS_INFO_STREAM( "Red value at pos 10, 10" << static_cast<int>( rgb_pix[2] ) );

or iterate the entire image, manipulating the pixels

cv::MatIterator_<cv::Vec3b> iter = cv_ptr->image.begin<cv::Vec3b>();
cv::MatIterator_<cv::Vec3b> iter_end = cv_ptr->image.end<cv::Vec3b>();

for ( ; iter != iter_end ; ++iter )
{
   (*iter)[2] = 255; // set red channel to 255, i. e. maxium value, for every pixel
}

 cv::imshow("OpenCV viewer uEye RGB manipulated", cv_ptr->image);
 cv::waitKey(3);

ah this is what I'm looking for std::vector<cv::mat> channels; cv::split( cv_ptr->image, channels ); last question how can I combine the 3 channels (after doing some image processing on each channel)

After you have done something with the channels in the channels vector you can assemble them back to the image using cv::merge ........ like: cv::merge( channels, cv_ptr->image );

Thank you. (just add " _ " to cv::MatIterator_<cv::vec3b>)
