Opencv C++ code of Operation on Arrays:subtract

Here is the OpenCv C++ Example on Operation on Arrays by using subtract() function.
It calculates the per-element difference between two arrays or array and a scalar.

---

Syntax:
C++: void subtract(InputArray src1, InputArray src2, OutputArray dst, InputArray mask=noArray(), int dtype=-1)

---

---

Parameters:
src1 – first input array or a scalar.
src2 – second input array or a scalar.
dst – output array of the same size and the same number of channels as the input array.
mask – optional operation mask; this is an 8-bit single channel array that specifies elements of the output array to be changed. dtype – optional depth of the output array (see the details below).

---

---

We can also use:
dst=image1-image2;
