Detailed Description

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.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ BFMatcher()

cv::BFMatcher::BFMatcher ( int  normType = NORM_L2,
bool  crossCheck = false 
)
Python:
<BFMatcher object>=cv.BFMatcher([, normType[, crossCheck]])

Brute-force matcher constructor (obsolete). Please use BFMatcher.create()

◆ ~BFMatcher()

virtual cv::BFMatcher::~BFMatcher ( )
inlinevirtual

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

virtual Ptr<DescriptorMatcher> cv::BFMatcher::clone ( bool  emptyTrainData = false) const
virtual

Clones the matcher.

Parameters
emptyTrainDataIf emptyTrainData is false, the method creates a deep copy of the object, that is, copies both parameters and train data. If emptyTrainData is true, the method creates an object copy with the current parameters but with empty train data.

Implements cv::DescriptorMatcher.

◆ create()

static Ptr<BFMatcher> cv::BFMatcher::create ( int  normType = NORM_L2,
bool  crossCheck = false 
)
static
Python:
retval=cv.BFMatcher_create([, normType[, crossCheck]])

Brute-force matcher create method.

Parameters
normTypeOne of NORM_L1, NORM_L2, NORM_HAMMING, NORM_HAMMING2. L1 and L2 norms are preferable choices for SIFT and SURF descriptors, NORM_HAMMING should be used with ORB, BRISK and BRIEF, NORM_HAMMING2 should be used with ORB when WTA_K==3 or 4 (see ORB::ORB constructor description).
crossCheckIf it is false, this is will be default BFMatcher behaviour when it finds the k nearest neighbors for each query descriptor. If crossCheck==true, then the knnMatch() method with k=1 will only return pairs (i,j) such that for i-th query descriptor the j-th descriptor in the matcher's collection is the nearest and vice versa, i.e. the BFMatcher will only return consistent pairs. Such technique usually produces best results with minimal number of outliers when there are enough matches. This is alternative to the ratio test, used by D. Lowe in SIFT paper.

◆ isMaskSupported()

virtual bool cv::BFMatcher::isMaskSupported ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Returns true if the descriptor matcher supports masking permissible matches.

Implements cv::DescriptorMatcher.

◆ knnMatchImpl()

virtual void cv::BFMatcher::knnMatchImpl ( InputArray  queryDescriptors,
std::vector< std::vector< DMatch > > &  matches,
int  k,
InputArrayOfArrays  masks = noArray(),
bool  compactResult = false 
)
protectedvirtual

In fact the matching is implemented only by the following two methods. These methods suppose that the class object has been trained already. Public match methods call these methods after calling train().

Implements cv::DescriptorMatcher.

◆ radiusMatchImpl()

virtual void cv::BFMatcher::radiusMatchImpl ( InputArray  queryDescriptors,
std::vector< std::vector< DMatch > > &  matches,
float  maxDistance,
InputArrayOfArrays  masks = noArray(),
bool  compactResult = false 
)
protectedvirtual

Implements cv::DescriptorMatcher.
