An image cannot be resized or rescaled inplace in OpenCV. You will need to create another image with the new size or scale and apply a resize operation.
Resizing or rescaling a Mat is somewhat easier than dealing with a IplImage. The code below illustrates these operations on both data types:
const int kNewWidth = 200;
const int kNewHeight = 400;
const float kRescaleFactor = 0.75;
/**
* Resize mat
*/
Mat mat; // Input
Mat new_mat;
resize(mat, new_mat, cvSize(kNewWidth, kNewHeight));
/**
* Rescale mat
*/
Mat mat; // Input
Mat new_mat;
resize(mat, new_mat, cvSize(0, 0), kScaleFactor, kScaleFactor);
/**
* Resize IplImage
*/
IplImage* img; // Input
IplImage* new_img = cvCreateImage(cvSize(kNewWidth, kNewHeight), img->depth, img->nChannels);
cvResize(img, new_img);
/**
* Rescale IplImage
*/
IplImage* img; // Input
const int new_width = (int) ((float) img->width * kRescaleFactor);
const int new_height = (int) ((float) img->height * kRescaleFactor);
IplImage* new_img = cvCreateImage(cvSize(new_width, new_height), img->depth, img->nChannels);
cvResize(img, new_img);
