QImage to Numpy Array using PySide

I am currently switching from PyQt to PySide.

With PyQt I converted QImage to a Numpy.Array using this code that I found on SO:

def convertQImageToMat(incomingImage):
    '''  Converts a QImage into an opencv MAT format  '''

    incomingImage = incomingImage.convertToFormat(4)

    width = incomingImage.width()
    height = incomingImage.height()

    ptr = incomingImage.bits()
    ptr.setsize(incomingImage.byteCount())
    arr = np.array(ptr).reshape(height, width, 4)  #  Copies the data
    return arr

However ptr.setsize(incomingImage.byteCount()) does not work with PySide as this is part of the void* support of PyQt.

My Question is: How can I convert a QImage to a Numpy.Array using PySide.

EDIT:

Solution

  • PySide doesn't seem to offer a bits method. How about using constBits to get the pointer to the array?
