The Thing to be careful, when you use cvSetImageROI

cvSetImage is to set region of interest by a rect size.
If you program as follows:

cvSetImageROI(image, cvRect(10,10,300,300) ); //cvRect(Left, Top, Width, Height)

Then, The region set by (10,10,300,300) in the image will be prcessed only by functions.
so..

cvSetImageROI(image, cvRect(10,10,300,300) ); //cvRect(Left, Top, Width, Height)
cvSetZero(image);
cvResetImageROI(image);

The region (10,10,300,300) in the image is only set by zero.
and ROI is released by cvResetImageROI function.

But there is one thing to be careful.

//Origin image size is 1024, 768
cvSetIamgeROI(image, cvRect(10, 10, 300, 300) );
image->width; -> ?
image->height; -> ?

What do you think about the value?
the answer is 1024, 768
so if you program as follows:(This is not correct source!!)

cvSetImageROI(image, cvRect(10,10,300,300));
for(int h=0; h< image->height; ++h)
{
     for(int w=0; w< image->width; ++w)
     {
          unsigned char R,G,B;
          B = (unsigned char)image->imageData[h*image->widthStep+w*3+0];
          G = (unsigned char)image->imageData[h*image->widthStep+w*3+1];
          R = (unsigned char)image->imageData[h*image->widthStep+w*3+2];

          image->imageData[h*image->widthStep+w*3+0] =  (unsigned char)(255-B);
          image->imageData[h*image->widthStep+w*3+1] =  (unsigned char)(255-G);
          image->imageData[h*image->widthStep+w*3+2] =  (unsigned char)(255-R);
     }
}
cvResetImageROI(image);

The color of whole area of image is inverted.
So If you apply invert processing to the ROI, you have to program as follows:(This is correct source)

for(int h=image2->roi->yOffset; h< image2->roi->yOffset+image2->roi->height; ++h)
{
     for(int w=image2->roi->xOffset; w< image2->roi->xOffset+ image2->roi->width; ++w)
     {
          unsigned char R,G,B;
          B = (unsigned char)image2->imageData[h*image2->widthStep+w*3+0];
          G = (unsigned char)image2->imageData[h*image2->widthStep+w*3+1];
          R = (unsigned char)image2->imageData[h*image2->widthStep+w*3+2];

          image->imageData[h*image->widthStep+w*3+0] =  (unsigned char)(255-B);
          image->imageData[h*image->widthStep+w*3+1] =  (unsigned char)(255-G);
          image->imageData[h*image->widthStep+w*3+2] =  (unsigned char)(255-R);
     }
}

Thank you.
