OpenCVのネイティブピクセルフォーマットがBGRな理由

Last updated at Posted at 2016-04-16

“Why not use RGB when everybody else and their aunts use RGB?”

This is the question I asked Dr. Gary Bradski, founder of OpenCV, when I met him at a conference a few months back, although I left out the part about everybody and their aunts using RGB. He answered my question with another question.

“Why is the the US standard railroad gauge 4 feet, 8.5 inches?”

The answer to that question of course is “Because of Roman horse’s ass!”

(参考訳)

「なぜ一般に使われているRGB順ではないのですか?」

数ヶ月前のカンファレンスでOpenCVファウンダーであるGary Bradski博士に会った際、一般に使われるRGBではないことについて、私が彼に聞いた質問です。彼は私に別の質問をしました。

「なぜ米国の鉄道レール幅は4フィートと8.5インチなのか?」

この質問への答えは、もちろん「ローマ帝国時代の馬のお尻の幅由来です!」

蛇足
