| 7 | 1 | We all spend a lot of time during debug of our projects. In Visual Studio we have such nice tools as "Watches" window and debugger tool-tips in the editor. These allow us to observe the values of variables determining state of our program. |

| 9 | 1 | But what about images? How do we observe image content during debug? Usually the functions like "@imwrite@":http://docs.opencv.org/modules/highgui/doc/reading_and_writing_images_and_video.html?highlight=imwrite#imwrite or "@imshow@":http://docs.opencv.org/modules/highgui/doc/user_interface.html#imshow are injected into code to spy over a certain image. But this approach has obvious drawback: it requires program rebuild to observe an image for which we don't have such instructions. In this article a tool is described allowing to view image content in the same way the usual variables are sought. |
