Detailed Description

Class to compute an image descriptor using the bag of visual words.

Such a computation consists of the following steps:

1. Compute descriptors for a given image and its keypoints set.
2. Find the nearest visual words from the vocabulary for each keypoint descriptor.
3. Compute the bag-of-words image descriptor as is a normalized histogram of vocabulary words encountered in the image. The i-th bin of the histogram is a frequency of i-th word of the vocabulary in the given image.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BOWImgDescriptorExtractor() [1/2]

cv::BOWImgDescriptorExtractor::BOWImgDescriptorExtractor	(	const Ptr< DescriptorExtractor > &	dextractor,
		const Ptr< DescriptorMatcher > &	dmatcher
	)

The constructor.

Parameters

dextractor	Descriptor extractor that is used to compute descriptors for an input image and its keypoints.
dmatcher	Descriptor matcher that is used to find the nearest word of the trained vocabulary for each keypoint descriptor of the image.

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Member Function Documentation

compute() [1/2]

void cv::BOWImgDescriptorExtractor::compute	(	InputArray	image,
		std::vector< KeyPoint > &	keypoints,
		OutputArray	imgDescriptor,
		std::vector< std::vector< int > > *	pointIdxsOfClusters = 0,
		Mat *	descriptors = 0
	)

Computes an image descriptor using the set visual vocabulary.

Parameters

image	Image, for which the descriptor is computed.
keypoints	Keypoints detected in the input image.
imgDescriptor	Computed output image descriptor.
pointIdxsOfClusters	Indices of keypoints that belong to the cluster. This means that pointIdxsOfClusters[i] are keypoint indices that belong to the i -th cluster (word of vocabulary) returned if it is non-zero.
descriptors	Descriptors of the image keypoints that are returned if they are non-zero.

compute() [2/2]

void cv::BOWImgDescriptorExtractor::compute	(	InputArray	keypointDescriptors,
		OutputArray	imgDescriptor,
		std::vector< std::vector< int > > *	pointIdxsOfClusters = 0
	)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Parameters

keypointDescriptors	Computed descriptors to match with vocabulary.
imgDescriptor	Computed output image descriptor.
pointIdxsOfClusters	Indices of keypoints that belong to the cluster. This means that pointIdxsOfClusters[i] are keypoint indices that belong to the i -th cluster (word of vocabulary) returned if it is non-zero.

compute2()

void cv::BOWImgDescriptorExtractor::compute2	(	const Mat &	image,
		std::vector< KeyPoint > &	keypoints,
		Mat &	imgDescriptor
	)

descriptorSize()

int cv::BOWImgDescriptorExtractor::descriptorSize

(

)

const

Returns an image descriptor size if the vocabulary is set. Otherwise, it returns 0.

descriptorType()

int cv::BOWImgDescriptorExtractor::descriptorType

(

)

const

Returns an image descriptor type.

getVocabulary()

const Mat& cv::BOWImgDescriptorExtractor::getVocabulary

(

)

const

Returns the set vocabulary.

setVocabulary()

void cv::BOWImgDescriptorExtractor::setVocabulary

(

const Mat &

vocabulary

)

Sets a visual vocabulary.

Parameters

vocabulary

Vocabulary (can be trained using the inheritor of BOWTrainer ). Each row of the vocabulary is a visual word (cluster center).
