Common Interfaces of Feature Detectors
======================================
.. highlight:: cpp
Feature detectors in OpenCV have wrappers with common interface that enables to switch easily
between different algorithms solving the same problem. All objects that implement keypoint detectors
inherit
:func:`FeatureDetector` interface.
.. index:: KeyPoint
.. _KeyPoint:
KeyPoint
--------
.. ctype:: KeyPoint
Data structure for salient point detectors. ::
class KeyPoint
{
public:
// the default constructor
KeyPoint() : pt(0,0), size(0), angle(-1), response(0), octave(0),
class_id(-1) {}
// the full constructor
KeyPoint(Point2f _pt, float _size, float _angle=-1,
float _response=0, int _octave=0, int _class_id=-1)
: pt(_pt), size(_size), angle(_angle), response(_response),
octave(_octave), class_id(_class_id) {}
// another form of the full constructor
KeyPoint(float x, float y, float _size, float _angle=-1,
float _response=0, int _octave=0, int _class_id=-1)
: pt(x, y), size(_size), angle(_angle), response(_response),
octave(_octave), class_id(_class_id) {}
// converts vector of keypoints to vector of points
static void convert(const std::vector<KeyPoint>& keypoints,
std::vector<Point2f>& points2f,
const std::vector<int>& keypointIndexes=std::vector<int>());
// converts vector of points to the vector of keypoints, where each
// keypoint is assigned the same size and the same orientation
static void convert(const std::vector<Point2f>& points2f,
std::vector<KeyPoint>& keypoints,
float size=1, float response=1, int octave=0,
int class_id=-1);
// computes overlap for pair of keypoints;
// overlap is a ratio between area of keypoint regions intersection and
// area of keypoint regions union (now keypoint region is circle)
static float overlap(const KeyPoint& kp1, const KeyPoint& kp2);
Point2f pt; // coordinates of the keypoints
float size; // diameter of the meaningfull keypoint neighborhood
float angle; // computed orientation of the keypoint (-1 if not applicable)
float response; // the response by which the most strong keypoints
// have been selected. Can be used for the further sorting
// or subsampling
int octave; // octave (pyramid layer) from which the keypoint has been extracted
int class_id; // object class (if the keypoints need to be clustered by
// an object they belong to)
};
// writes vector of keypoints to the file storage
void write(FileStorage& fs, const string& name, const vector<KeyPoint>& keypoints);
// reads vector of keypoints from the specified file storage node
void read(const FileNode& node, CV_OUT vector<KeyPoint>& keypoints);

..
.. index:: DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector
.. _DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector:
DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector
-----------------------------
.. ctype:: DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector
An adaptively adjusting detector that iteratively detects until the desired number
of features are found.
If the detector is persisted, it will "remember" the parameters
used on the last detection. In this way, the detector may be used for consistent numbers
of keypoints in a sets of images that are temporally related such as video streams or
panorama series.
The DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector uses another detector such as FAST or SURF to do the dirty work,
with the help of an AdjusterAdapter.
After a detection, and an unsatisfactory number of features are detected,
the AdjusterAdapter will adjust the detection parameters so that the next detection will
result in more or less features. This is repeated until either the number of desired features are found
or the parameters are maxed out.
Adapters can easily be implemented for any detector via the
AdjusterAdapter interface.
Beware that this is not thread safe - as the adjustment of parameters breaks the const
of the detection routine...
Here is a sample of how to create a DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector. ::
//sample usage:
//will create a detector that attempts to find
//100 - 110 FAST Keypoints, and will at most run
//FAST feature detection 10 times until that
//number of keypoints are found
Ptr<FeatureDetector> detector(new DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector (100, 110, 10,
new FastAdjuster(20,true)));
.. ::
class DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector: public FeatureDetector
{
public:
DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector( const Ptr<AdjusterAdapter>& adjaster,
int min_features=400, int max_features=500, int max_iters=5 );
...
};
..
.. index:: DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector::DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector
cv::DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector::DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector
----------------------------------------------------------------
.. cfunction:: DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector::DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector( const Ptr<AdjusterAdapter>\& adjaster, int min_features, int max_features, int max_iters )
DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector constructor.
:param adjaster: An :func:`AdjusterAdapter` that will do the detection and parameter
adjustment
:param min_features: This minimum desired number features.
:param max_features: The maximum desired number of features.
:param max_iters: The maximum number of times to try to adjust the feature detector parameters. For the :func:`FastAdjuster` this number can be high,
but with Star or Surf, many iterations can get time consuming. At each iteration the detector is rerun, so keep this in mind when choosing this value.
.. index:: AdjusterAdapter
.. _AdjusterAdapter:
AdjusterAdapter
---------------
.. ctype:: AdjusterAdapter
A feature detector parameter adjuster interface, this is used by the
:func:`DynamicAdaptedFeatureDetector` and is a wrapper for
:func:`FeatureDetecto` r that allow them to be adjusted after a detection.
See
:func:`FastAdjuster`,:func:`StarAdjuster`,:func:`SurfAdjuster` for concrete implementations. ::
class AdjusterAdapter: public FeatureDetector
{
public:
virtual ~AdjusterAdapter() {}
virtual void tooFew(int min, int n_detected) = 0;
virtual void tooMany(int max, int n_detected) = 0;
virtual bool good() const = 0;
};
..
.. index:: AdjusterAdapter::tooFew
cv::AdjusterAdapter::tooFew
---------------------------
.. cfunction:: virtual void tooFew(int min, int n_detected) = 0
Too few features were detected so, adjust the detector parameters accordingly - so that the next
detection detects more features.
:param min: This minimum desired number features.
:param n_detected: The actual number detected last run.
An example implementation of this is ::
void FastAdjuster::tooFew(int min, int n_detected)
{
thresh_--;
}
..
.. index:: AdjusterAdapter::tooMany
cv::AdjusterAdapter::tooMany
----------------------------
.. cfunction:: virtual void tooMany(int max, int n_detected) = 0
Too many features were detected so, adjust the detector parameters accordingly - so that the next
detection detects less features.
:param max: This maximum desired number features.
:param n_detected: The actual number detected last run.
An example implementation of this is ::
void FastAdjuster::tooMany(int min, int n_detected)
{
thresh_++;
}
..
.. index:: AdjusterAdapter::good
cv::AdjusterAdapter::good
-------------------------
.. cfunction:: virtual bool good() const = 0
Are params maxed out or still valid? Returns false if the parameters can't be adjusted any more.
An example implementation of this is ::
bool FastAdjuster::good() const
{
return (thresh_ > 1) && (thresh_ < 200);
}
