Member Function Documentation

compute() [1/2]

virtual void cv::Feature2D::compute ( InputArray image, std::vector< KeyPoint > & keypoints, OutputArray descriptors )

virtual

Python:
	cv.Feature2D.compute(	image, keypoints[, descriptors]	) ->	keypoints, descriptors
	cv.Feature2D.compute(	images, keypoints[, descriptors]	) ->	keypoints, descriptors

Computes the descriptors for a set of keypoints detected in an image (first variant) or image set (second variant).

Parameters

image	Image.
keypoints	Input collection of keypoints. Keypoints for which a descriptor cannot be computed are removed. Sometimes new keypoints can be added, for example: SIFT duplicates keypoint with several dominant orientations (for each orientation).
descriptors	Computed descriptors. In the second variant of the method descriptors[i] are descriptors computed for a keypoints[i]. Row j is the keypoints (or keypoints[i]) is the descriptor for keypoint j-th keypoint.

Reimplemented in cv::xfeatures2d::DAISY.

compute() [2/2]

virtual void cv::Feature2D::compute ( InputArrayOfArrays images, std::vector< std::vector< KeyPoint > > & keypoints, OutputArrayOfArrays descriptors )

virtual

Python:
	cv.Feature2D.compute(	image, keypoints[, descriptors]	) ->	keypoints, descriptors
	cv.Feature2D.compute(	images, keypoints[, descriptors]	) ->	keypoints, descriptors

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

Parameters

images	Image set.
keypoints	Input collection of keypoints. Keypoints for which a descriptor cannot be computed are removed. Sometimes new keypoints can be added, for example: SIFT duplicates keypoint with several dominant orientations (for each orientation).
descriptors	Computed descriptors. In the second variant of the method descriptors[i] are descriptors computed for a keypoints[i]. Row j is the keypoints (or keypoints[i]) is the descriptor for keypoint j-th keypoint.

Reimplemented in cv::xfeatures2d::DAISY.

defaultNorm()

virtual int cv::Feature2D::defaultNorm ( ) const

virtual

Python:
	cv.Feature2D.defaultNorm(		) ->	retval

virtual

Python:
	cv.Feature2D.descriptorSize(		) ->	retval

detect() [1/2]

virtual void cv::Feature2D::detect ( InputArray image, std::vector< KeyPoint > & keypoints, InputArray mask = noArray() )

virtual

Python:
	cv.Feature2D.detect(	image[, mask]	) ->	keypoints
	cv.Feature2D.detect(	images[, masks]	) ->	keypoints

Detects keypoints in an image (first variant) or image set (second variant).

Parameters

image	Image.
keypoints	The detected keypoints. In the second variant of the method keypoints[i] is a set of keypoints detected in images[i] .
mask	Mask specifying where to look for keypoints (optional). It must be a 8-bit integer matrix with non-zero values in the region of interest.

Reimplemented in cv::xfeatures2d::AffineFeature2D.

detect() [2/2]

virtual void cv::Feature2D::detect ( InputArrayOfArrays images, std::vector< std::vector< KeyPoint > > & keypoints, InputArrayOfArrays masks = noArray() )

virtual

Python:
	cv.Feature2D.detect(	image[, mask]	) ->	keypoints
	cv.Feature2D.detect(	images[, masks]	) ->	keypoints

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

Parameters

images	Image set.
keypoints	The detected keypoints. In the second variant of the method keypoints[i] is a set of keypoints detected in images[i] .
masks	Masks for each input image specifying where to look for keypoints (optional). masks[i] is a mask for images[i].
