The Core Functionality (core module) {#tutorial_table_of_content_core}
=====================================

Here you will learn the about the basic building blocks of the library. A must read and know for
understanding how to manipulate the images on a pixel level.

-   @subpage tutorial_mat_the_basic_image_container

    *Compatibility:* \> OpenCV 2.0

    *Author:* Bernát Gábor

    You will learn how to store images in the memory and how to print out their content to the
    console.

-   @subpage tutorial_how_to_scan_images

    *Compatibility:* \> OpenCV 2.0

    *Author:* Bernát Gábor

    You'll find out how to scan images (go through each of the image pixels) with OpenCV.
    Bonus: time measurement with OpenCV.


-   @subpage tutorial_mat_mask_operations

    *Languages:* C++, Java, Python

    *Compatibility:* \> OpenCV 2.0
