Using other library as base types

[AustinFelipe]

Hey guys, how's doing?

Well, I'm wondering if is possible to use other libraries to deal with math instead of DlibDotNet related.

E.g: can I use Matrix from MathDotNet library instead of using DlibDotNet's Matrix<TElement>

Any direction on how to do it?

Thanks!

The following pseudo code

byte[] array = MathDotNet.ToArray();
var array2 = Dlib.LoadImageData(array);
var mat = new Matrix(array2);

Or

byte[] array = mat.ToArray();
var matrix = new MathDotNet(array);

Does MathDotNet.Matrix provide constructor which can accept T[] and provide interface to convert T[]?
If so, I can add Matrix.ToArray method.

Hey @takuya-takeuchi, thanks!

Well, it seems to have the following

Matrix<T> Dense<T>(int rows, int columns, T[] storage)
Matrix<T> Dense<T>(int rows, int columns, T value)
Matrix<T> DenseOfArray<T>(T[,] array)

Vector<T> Dense<T>(T[] array)
Vector<T> Dense<T>(int length, T value)

Vector Creator
Matrix Creator

I'm not sure if is what you're looking for. Is that something like those builders?

Thanks!

I added new interface for Matrix. Please check 177af2d

var array = new byte[200];
// New Interface1
var dlibMat = new Matrix<byte>(array, 20, 10)

// New Interface2
var array2 = dlibMat.ToArray();

var mathMat = CreateMatrix.Dense<byte>(20, 10, array2);

// It may be ToRowMajorArray()
var array3 = mathMat.ToColumnMajorArray();

var dlibMat2 = new Matrix<byte>(array3, 20, 10)

I can not use MathDotNet.
So this modification may occur problem for compatible between Matrix.
If so, please let me know.

Have a try!!
