Returns the image as an uint8Mat defined in the arr module.

Syntax:

im = GetImageMatr(name)

im = GetImageMatr("Image") # return color or 8bit intensity image
im = GetImageMatr("Image.H") # returns hue on an color image
im = GetImageMatr("Image.S") # return saturation on an color image
im = GetImageMatr("Image.I") # return intensity of a color image

Example 1: Access Image and process the image from python

# used to provide access to image from python
img=GetImageMatr('Image') #get the image

blob=GetTool('Blob')
status = blob.execute(img) 

cx=blob.getValue('CenterOfGravity_x') #get result x
cy=blob.getValue('CenterOfGravity_y') #get result y

Example 2: Get the size of a 2D Image

import arr
img = GetImageMatr('Image')
ROWS,COLS = img.dim()
print 'image size ',ROWS,COLS

Note: The name of an image is defined under Service.Camera.Image
