Detailed Description

Maximally stable extremal region extractor.

The class encapsulates all the parameters of the MSER extraction algorithm (see wiki article).

there are two different implementation of MSER: one for grey image, one for color image
the grey image algorithm is taken from: [150] ; the paper claims to be faster than union-find method; it actually get 1.5~2m/s on my centrino L7200 1.2GHz laptop.
the color image algorithm is taken from: [66] ; it should be much slower than grey image method ( 3~4 times ); the chi_table.h file is taken directly from paper's source code which is distributed under GPL.
(Python) A complete example showing the use of the MSER detector can be found at samples/python/mser.py

§ create()

static Ptr<MSER> cv::MSER::create	(	int	_delta = `5`,
		int	_min_area = `60`,
		int	_max_area = `14400`,
		double	_max_variation = `0.25`,
		double	_min_diversity = `.2`,
		int	_max_evolution = `200`,
		double	_area_threshold = `1.01`,
		double	_min_margin = `0.003`,
		int	_edge_blur_size = `5`
	)

static

Python:
	retval	=	cv.MSER_create(	[, _delta[, _min_area[, _max_area[, _max_variation[, _min_diversity[, _max_evolution[, _area_threshold[, _min_margin[, _edge_blur_size]]]]]]]]]	)

Full consturctor for MSER detector.

Parameters

_delta	it compares \((size_{i}-size_{i-delta})/size_{i-delta}\)
_min_area	prune the area which smaller than minArea
_max_area	prune the area which bigger than maxArea
_max_variation	prune the area have similar size to its children
_min_diversity	for color image, trace back to cut off mser with diversity less than min_diversity
_max_evolution	for color image, the evolution steps
_area_threshold	for color image, the area threshold to cause re-initialize
_min_margin	for color image, ignore too small margin
_edge_blur_size	for color image, the aperture size for edge blur

§ detectRegions()

virtual void cv::MSER::detectRegions	(	InputArray	image,
		std::vector< std::vector< Point > > &	msers,
		std::vector< Rect > &	bboxes
	)

pure virtual

Python:
	msers, bboxes	=	cv.MSER.detectRegions(	image	)

Detect MSER regions.

Parameters

image	input image (8UC1, 8UC3 or 8UC4, must be greater or equal than 3x3)
msers	resulting list of point sets
bboxes	resulting bounding boxes

§ getDefaultName()

virtual String cv::MSER::getDefaultName ( ) const

virtual

Python:
	retval	=	cv.MSER.getDefaultName(		)

Returns the algorithm string identifier. This string is used as top level xml/yml node tag when the object is saved to a file or string.

Reimplemented from cv::Feature2D.

§ getDelta()

virtual int cv::MSER::getDelta ( ) const

pure virtual

Python:
	retval	=	cv.MSER.getDelta(		)

§ getMaxArea()

virtual int cv::MSER::getMaxArea ( ) const

pure virtual

Python:
	retval	=	cv.MSER.getMaxArea(		)

§ getMinArea()

virtual int cv::MSER::getMinArea ( ) const

pure virtual

Python:
	retval	=	cv.MSER.getMinArea(		)

§ getPass2Only()

virtual bool cv::MSER::getPass2Only ( ) const

pure virtual

Python:
	retval	=	cv.MSER.getPass2Only(		)

§ setDelta()

virtual void cv::MSER::setDelta ( int delta )

pure virtual

Python:
	None	=	cv.MSER.setDelta(	delta	)

§ setMaxArea()

virtual void cv::MSER::setMaxArea ( int maxArea )

pure virtual

Python:
	None	=	cv.MSER.setMaxArea(	maxArea	)

§ setMinArea()

virtual void cv::MSER::setMinArea ( int minArea )

pure virtual

Python:
	None	=	cv.MSER.setMinArea(	minArea	)

§ setPass2Only()

virtual void cv::MSER::setPass2Only ( bool f )

pure virtual

Python:
	None	=	cv.MSER.setPass2Only(	f	)
