Writing to FileStorage

To write a file with some OpenCV or other numeric data, we can use the FileStorage class, using a streaming << operator such as STL streaming:

#include "opencv2/opencv.hpp" 
using namespace cv; 
 
int main(int, char** argv) 
{ 
   // create our writer 
    FileStorage fs("test.yml", FileStorage::WRITE); 
    // Save an int 
    int fps= 5; 
    fs << "fps" << fps; 
    // Create some mat sample 
    Mat m1= Mat::eye(2,3, CV_32F); 
    Mat m2= Mat::ones(3,2, CV_32F); 
    Mat result= (m1+1).mul(m1+3); 
    // write the result 
    fs << "Result" << result; 
    // release the file 
    fs.release(); 
 
    FileStorage fs2("test.yml", FileStorage::READ); 
 
    Mat r; 
    fs2["Result"] >> r; 
    std::cout << r << std::endl; 
 
    fs2.release(); 
 
    return 0; 
} 

To create a file storage where we save the data, we only ...
