I’m trying to use the imwrite() OpenCV function. I want to save the frames with the .TIFF extension. The problem that I have is that the saved images are compressed so I can’t use them. Any idea how I can escape this compression?
thanks in advance

According to the documentation OpenCV only exposes a limited set of options for writing image files.
Non of which belongs to TIFF-Files.
So unless you want to use your own function or modify the OpenCV source, this is not possible.
I would suggest using another uncompressed format for saving the frames like PXM or BMP, unless you have some specific reasons to use TIFF-Files.
