@jsulm
Hey Good morning
These are defined in the same function .cpp files.
Yes These are not in mainwindow

[jsulm]

@gauravsharma0190 Did you initialize these variables? Do they have correct values when you call threshold()?

[gauravsharma0190]

@jsulm
Yes i initialize these with correct values.

[jsulm]

@gauravsharma0190 Are you sure? Did you verify using debugger? If they have correct values then I don't know why it's crashing...

When I Comment the line Threshold _demo everything went OK!!!
Results are coming but when i uncomment it everything crashes.

Hi
I have a teory ;)

namedWindow

void namedWindow(const string& winname, int flags=WINDOW_AUTOSIZE )

It wants a ref, so i assume that the crash is that
// char* window_name = "Threshold Demo";

will run out of scope

where as
namedWindow( "Threshold", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
There "Threshold" is managed by the compiler and wont run out.

To test this, please move
char* window_name = "Threshold Demo";

OUTSIDE the function so it last longer than function call.

[jsulm]

@gauravsharma0190 Please take a closer look at this code:

void MainWindow::on_onTrackball_clicked()
{
int threshold_value = 0;
int threshold_type = 3;
int const max_value = 255;
int const max_type = 4;
// int const max_BINARY_value = 255;
// These variables are LOCAL!
Mat src, src_gray, dst;

You use local variables in void MainWindow::on_onTrackball_clicked(). All these variables exist only in that function: Mat src, src_gray, dst;
In Threshold_Demo() these variable are not visible (I have no idea why your code compiles? You probably defined these variables somewhere else again). I already pointed out this issue in one of my previous posts.

void Threshold_Demo( int, void* )
{
  /* 0: Binary
     1: Binary Inverted
     2: Threshold Truncated
     3: Threshold to Zero
     4: Threshold to Zero Inverted
   */
// src_gray, dst, threshold_value, max_BINARY_value,threshold_type are GLOBAL! Where are they defined?
@@threshold( src_gray, dst, threshold_value, max_BINARY_value,threshold_type );

Please make really sure src_gray, dst, threshold_value, max_BINARY_value,threshold_type have valid values when you call threshold( )! Use debugger for this.

[gauravsharma0190]

@jsulm
Hey the ontrack.cpp file has these variable defined i havn't sent you full code
here it is

#include"onTrack.h"
#include<imgproc.hpp>
 using namespace cv;
using namespace std;
int threshold_value=0;
int threshold_type=3;
int const max_BINARY_value=255;
Mat src_gray,dst;

void Threshold_Demo( int, void* )
{
  /* 0: Binary
     1: Binary Inverted
     2: Threshold Truncated
     3: Threshold to Zero
     4: Threshold to Zero Inverted
   */

  threshold( src_gray, dst, threshold_value, max_BINARY_value,threshold_type );

  imshow( window_name, dst );
}
......

[jsulm]

@gauravsharma0190 That is the problem I'm talking all the time! You do not initialize src_gray,dst from ontrack.cpp, so you use not properly initialized variables in Threshold_Demo(). As I said in MainWindow::on_onTrackball_clicked() you use local variables rc_gray,dst, not the ones from ontrack.cpp!
So, again where are these variables initialized?

// Where are they initialized?
Mat src_gray,dst;

void Threshold_Demo( int, void* )
{
  /* 0: Binary
     1: Binary Inverted
     2: Threshold Truncated
     3: Threshold to Zero
     4: Threshold to Zero Inverted
   */

@gauravsharma0190 Please read what I'm writing more carefully!
In Mainwindow::onTrackBall_clicked() you don't initialize them! Because you use local variables there with same names:

void MainWindow::on_onTrackball_clicked()
{
     // Here src and src_gray are not the same as in ontrack.cpp!
     // Values you're assigning here to src and src_gray are only visible here but not in ontrack.cpp!
    Mat src, src_gray;

I'm running out of ideas how to explain it. You should learn C++, especially the visibility and scope of variables.

[gauravsharma0190]

@jsulm
You mean to say in OnTrack_clicked()
src and src_gray variable
and in ontrack.cpp
src_gray variable should be different.
I can't get you.
In Mainwindow::onTrackBall_clicked() you don't initialize them! Because you use local variables there with same names:

void MainWindow::on_onTrackball_clicked()
{
// Here src and src_gray are not the same as in ontrack.cpp!
// Values you're assigning here to src and src_gray are only visible here but not in ontrack.cpp!
Here what is local variable in it.
Local mean variable inside the function??
And globle mean en tire the programme.

[jsulm]

@gauravsharma0190 No, I don't mean that they should be different. I mean the opposite: they need to be the same (but they are not).
Local variable is a variable which is only visible in a certain scope, for example in a function. The variables in ontrack.cpp are only visible in ontrack.cpp, but not in MainWindow. In Mainwindow::onTrackBall_clicked() you declare OTHER variables with SAME names.
What do you think which src_grey is used in Threshold_Demo( int, void* )? Is it the one from MainWindow::onTrackBall_clicked() or the one from ontrack.cpp?

// src_gray here is not the same as in MainWindow::onTrackBall_clicked()
Mat src_gray,dst;
void Threshold_Demo( int, void* )
{
  threshold( src_gray, dst, threshold_value, max_BINARY_value,threshold_type );
}

Actually you should pass the data to Threshold_Demo() as parameter:

Mainwindow::onTrackBall_clicked()
{
    Mat src, src_gray;
    ...
    Threshold_Demo(src_grey, /*what else needs to be passed from MainWindow to this function*/);
    ...
}

void Threshold_Demo(Mat &src_grey, ...)
{

[gauravsharma0190]

@jsulm
OK it means src_gray value in .cpp file should be same as in mainwindow::on_Track clicked() src_gray value.
Actually src_gray is image array.
I did it by Define the value of src_grey in function as
src=imread("/file.jpg);
cvtColor( src, src_gray, CV_BGR2GRAY );
so i will get src_gray value.
