Trying to parse OpenCV YAML ouput with yaml-cpp
- by Kenn Sebesta
I've got a series of OpenCv generated YAML files and would like to parse them with yaml-cpp
I'm doing okay on simple stuff, but the matrix representation is proving difficult.
# Center of table
tableCenter: !!opencv-matrix
rows: 1
cols: 2
dt: f
data: [ 240, 240]
This should map into the vector
240
240
with type float. My code looks like:
#include "yaml.h"
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
struct Matrix {
int x;
};
void operator >> (const YAML::Node& node, Matrix& matrix) {
unsigned rows;
node["rows"] >> rows;
}
int main()
{
std::ifstream fin("monsters.yaml");
YAML::Parser parser(fin);
YAML::Node doc;
Matrix m;
doc["tableCenter"] >> m;
return 0;
}
But I get
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'YAML::BadDereference'
what(): yaml-cpp: error at line 0, column 0: bad dereference
Abort trap
I searched around for some documentation for yaml-cpp, but there doesn't seem to be any, aside from a short introductory example on parsing and emitting. Unfortunately, neither of these two help in this particular circumstance.
As I understand, the !! indicate that this is a user-defined type, but I don't see with yaml-cpp how to parse that.
