Detailed Description

Abstract base class for matching keypoint descriptors.

It has two groups of match methods: for matching descriptors of an image with another image or with an image set.

Member Function Documentation

§ add()

virtual void cv::cuda::DescriptorMatcher::add ( const std::vector< GpuMat > & descriptors )

pure virtual

Adds descriptors to train a descriptor collection.

If the collection is not empty, the new descriptors are added to existing train descriptors.

Parameters

descriptors Descriptors to add. Each descriptors[i] is a set of descriptors from the same train image.

§ clear()

virtual void cv::cuda::DescriptorMatcher::clear ( )

pure virtual

Clears the train descriptor collection.

Reimplemented from cv::Algorithm.

§ createBFMatcher()

static Ptr<DescriptorMatcher> cv::cuda::DescriptorMatcher::createBFMatcher ( int normType = cv::NORM_L2 )

static

Brute-force descriptor matcher.

For each descriptor in the first set, this matcher finds the closest descriptor in the second set by trying each one. This descriptor matcher supports masking permissible matches of descriptor sets.

Parameters

normType One of NORM_L1, NORM_L2, NORM_HAMMING. L1 and L2 norms are preferable choices for SIFT and SURF descriptors, NORM_HAMMING should be used with ORB, BRISK and BRIEF).

§ empty()

virtual bool cv::cuda::DescriptorMatcher::empty ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns true if there are no train descriptors in the collection.

Reimplemented from cv::Algorithm.

§ getTrainDescriptors()

virtual const std::vector<GpuMat>& cv::cuda::DescriptorMatcher::getTrainDescriptors ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a constant link to the train descriptor collection.

§ isMaskSupported()

virtual bool cv::cuda::DescriptorMatcher::isMaskSupported ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns true if the descriptor matcher supports masking permissible matches.

§ knnMatch() [1/2]

virtual void cv::cuda::DescriptorMatcher::knnMatch	(	InputArray	queryDescriptors,
		InputArray	trainDescriptors,
		std::vector< std::vector< DMatch > > &	matches,
		int	k,
		InputArray	mask = `noArray()`,
		bool	compactResult = `false`
	)

pure virtual

Finds the k best matches for each descriptor from a query set (blocking version).

Parameters

queryDescriptors	Query set of descriptors.
trainDescriptors	Train set of descriptors. This set is not added to the train descriptors collection stored in the class object.
matches	Matches. Each matches[i] is k or less matches for the same query descriptor.
k	Count of best matches found per each query descriptor or less if a query descriptor has less than k possible matches in total.
mask	Mask specifying permissible matches between an input query and train matrices of descriptors.
compactResult	Parameter used when the mask (or masks) is not empty. If compactResult is false, the matches vector has the same size as queryDescriptors rows. If compactResult is true, the matches vector does not contain matches for fully masked-out query descriptors.

These extended variants of DescriptorMatcher::match methods find several best matches for each query descriptor. The matches are returned in the distance increasing order. See DescriptorMatcher::match for the details about query and train descriptors.

§ knnMatch() [2/2]

virtual void cv::cuda::DescriptorMatcher::knnMatch	(	InputArray	queryDescriptors,
		std::vector< std::vector< DMatch > > &	matches,
		int	k,
		const std::vector< GpuMat > &	masks = `std::vector< GpuMat >()`,
		bool	compactResult = `false`
	)

pure virtual

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

§ knnMatchAsync() [1/2]

		InputArray	trainDescriptors,
		OutputArray	matches,
		int	k,
		InputArray	mask = `noArray()`,
		Stream &	stream = `Stream::Null()`
	)

Parameters

queryDescriptors	Query set of descriptors.
trainDescriptors	Train set of descriptors. This set is not added to the train descriptors collection stored in the class object.
matches	Matches array stored in GPU memory. Internal representation is not defined. Use DescriptorMatcher::knnMatchConvert method to retrieve results in standard representation.
k	Count of best matches found per each query descriptor or less if a query descriptor has less than k possible matches in total.
mask	Mask specifying permissible matches between an input query and train matrices of descriptors.
stream	CUDA stream.

These extended variants of DescriptorMatcher::matchAsync methods find several best matches for each query descriptor. The matches are returned in the distance increasing order. See DescriptorMatcher::matchAsync for the details about query and train descriptors.

		Stream &	stream = `Stream::Null()`
	)

§ knnMatchConvert()

virtual void cv::cuda::DescriptorMatcher::knnMatchConvert	(	InputArray	gpu_matches,
		std::vector< std::vector< DMatch > > &	matches,
		bool	compactResult = `false`
	)

pure virtual

Converts matches array from internal representation to standard matches vector.

The method is supposed to be used with DescriptorMatcher::knnMatchAsync to get final result. Call this method only after DescriptorMatcher::knnMatchAsync is completed (ie. after synchronization).

Parameters

gpu_matches	Matches, returned from DescriptorMatcher::knnMatchAsync.
matches	Vector of DMatch objects.
compactResult	Parameter used when the mask (or masks) is not empty. If compactResult is false, the matches vector has the same size as queryDescriptors rows. If compactResult is true, the matches vector does not contain matches for fully masked-out query descriptors.

§ match() [1/2]

virtual void cv::cuda::DescriptorMatcher::match	(	InputArray	queryDescriptors,
		InputArray	trainDescriptors,
		std::vector< DMatch > &	matches,
		InputArray	mask = `noArray()`
	)

pure virtual

Finds the best match for each descriptor from a query set (blocking version).

Parameters

queryDescriptors	Query set of descriptors.
trainDescriptors	Train set of descriptors. This set is not added to the train descriptors collection stored in the class object.
matches	Matches. If a query descriptor is masked out in mask , no match is added for this descriptor. So, matches size may be smaller than the query descriptors count.
mask	Mask specifying permissible matches between an input query and train matrices of descriptors.

In the first variant of this method, the train descriptors are passed as an input argument. In the second variant of the method, train descriptors collection that was set by DescriptorMatcher::add is used. Optional mask (or masks) can be passed to specify which query and training descriptors can be matched. Namely, queryDescriptors[i] can be matched with trainDescriptors[j] only if mask.at<uchar>(i,j) is non-zero.

		const std::vector< GpuMat > &	masks = `std::vector< GpuMat >()`
