Lookup table of OpenCV Mat type

The form of OpenCV Mat data type is generally CV_<bit_depth>(S|U|F)C<number_of_channels>, and their respective meanings are as follows:

• bit_depth: Number of bits, representing the number of pixels in the image, that is, pixel depth, such as 8bite, 16bites, 32bites, 64bites.
• S|U|F: S represents signed int signed integer. U stands for unsigned int unsigned integer. F stands for float single precision floating point type.
• C<number_of_channels>: represents the number of channels of an image, such as:
• channels = 1: grayscale image. is a single channel image.
• channels=3: RGB color image. is a 3 channel image.
• channels = 4: RGB image with alpha channel, representing transparency. is a 4-channel image.

For example: CV_8U represents 8 pixels, unsigned data, single channel format.

The following is a lookup table of OpenCV Mat type value:

	C1	C2	C3	C4	C5	C6	C7	C8
CV_8U	0	8	16	24	32	40	48	56
CV_8S	1	9	17	25	33	41	49	57
CV_16U	2	10	18	26	34	42	50	58
CV_16S	3	11	19	27	35	43	51	59
