Retrieves data of a Binary item.

Signatures

Note: This function has variants taking a std::vector as buffer. These variants will conveniently query the item's data size first and resize the std::vector accordingly to fit the data. If the binary data size is not divisible the the vector element size an error will be returned. The variants with OpenCV matrices provide an even more convenient interface. They will also be allocated with the correct element type, dimensions and channel count.

Variants throwing exceptions on API errors:

void getBinaryData(void* bufferPointer, int bufferSize, int* numBytesCopied, double* timestamp) const

template <typename T> void getBinaryData(std::vector<T>& bufferVector, double* timestamp) const

void getBinaryData(cv::Mat& cvMat, double* timestamp) const

Variants returning API errors as int* parameter:

void getBinaryData(int* returnCode, void* bufferPointer, int bufferSize, int* numBytesCopied, double* timestamp) const

template <typename T> void getBinaryData(int* returnCode, std::vector<T>& bufferVector, double* timestamp) const

void getBinaryData(int* returnCode, cv::Mat& cvMat, double* timestamp) const

Parameters

returnCode

The error code returned when accessing the item.

bufferPointer

Pointer to a buffer where the binary data will be copied to. The buffer must have been allocated by the caller.

bufferSize

Size of the allocated buffer in bytes.

numBytesCopied

Pointer to an integer, can be 0. If non-zero the value will be set to the number of bytes actually copied to the user's buffer.

bufferVector

A std::vector that should be filled with the binary data.

timestamp

Timestamp when the binary blob was generated. This pointer can be set to zero when the time stamp should not be retrieved.

cvMat

An OpenCV matrix into which the binary node content should be copied. OpenCV interface functions are only available when CV_MAJOR_VERSION is defined while compiling the nxLibFunctions.h header file.

Return Value

none
