Detailed Description

Singular Value Decomposition.

Class for computing Singular Value Decomposition of a floating-point matrix. The Singular Value Decomposition is used to solve least-square problems, under-determined linear systems, invert matrices, compute condition numbers, and so on.

If you want to compute a condition number of a matrix or an absolute value of its determinant, you do not need u and vt. You can pass flags=SVD::NO_UV|... . Another flag SVD::FULL_UV indicates that full-size u and vt must be computed, which is not necessary most of the time.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Flags

enum cv::SVD::Flags

Enumerator
MODIFY_A	allow the algorithm to modify the decomposed matrix; it can save space and speed up processing. currently ignored.
NO_UV	indicates that only a vector of singular values w is to be processed, while u and vt will be set to empty matrices
FULL_UV	when the matrix is not square, by default the algorithm produces u and vt matrices of sufficiently large size for the further A reconstruction; if, however, FULL_UV flag is specified, u and vt will be full-size square orthogonal matrices.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SVD() [1/2]

cv::SVD::SVD

(

)

the default constructor

initializes an empty SVD structure

SVD() [2/2]

cv::SVD::SVD	(	InputArray	src,
		int	flags = 0 )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts. initializes an empty SVD structure and then calls SVD::operator()

Parameters

src	decomposed matrix. The depth has to be CV_32F or CV_64F.
flags	operation flags (SVD::Flags)

backSubst() [1/3]

template<typename _Tp , int m, int n, int nm, int nb>

static void cv::SVD::backSubst ( const Matx< _Tp, nm, 1 > & w, const Matx< _Tp, m, nm > & u, const Matx< _Tp, n, nm > & vt, const Matx< _Tp, m, nb > & rhs, Matx< _Tp, n, nb > & dst )

backSubst() [2/3]

void cv::SVD::backSubst	(	InputArray	rhs,
		OutputArray	dst ) const

performs a singular value back substitution.

The method calculates a back substitution for the specified right-hand side:

\[\texttt{x} = \texttt{vt} ^T \cdot diag( \texttt{w} )^{-1} \cdot \texttt{u} ^T \cdot \texttt{rhs} \sim \texttt{A} ^{-1} \cdot \texttt{rhs}\]

Using this technique you can either get a very accurate solution of the convenient linear system, or the best (in the least-squares terms) pseudo-solution of an overdetermined linear system.

Parameters

rhs	right-hand side of a linear system (u*w*v')*dst = rhs to be solved, where A has been previously decomposed.
dst	found solution of the system.

Note

Explicit SVD with the further back substitution only makes sense if you need to solve many linear systems with the same left-hand side (for example, src ). If all you need is to solve a single system (possibly with multiple rhs immediately available), simply call solve add pass DECOMP_SVD there. It does absolutely the same thing.

backSubst() [3/3]

compute() [3/4]

static void cv::SVD::compute ( InputArray src, OutputArray w, int flags = 0 )

static

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

Parameters

src	decomposed matrix. The depth has to be CV_32F or CV_64F.
w	calculated singular values
flags	operation flags - see SVD::Flags.

compute() [4/4]

static void cv::SVD::compute ( InputArray src, OutputArray w, OutputArray u, OutputArray vt, int flags = 0 )

static

decomposes matrix and stores the results to user-provided matrices

The methods/functions perform SVD of matrix. Unlike SVD::SVD constructor and SVD::operator(), they store the results to the user-provided matrices:

Mat A, w, u, vt;
SVD::compute(A, w, u, vt);

Parameters

src	decomposed matrix. The depth has to be CV_32F or CV_64F.
w	calculated singular values
u	calculated left singular vectors
vt	transposed matrix of right singular vectors
flags	operation flags - see SVD::Flags.

operator()()

SVD & cv::SVD::operator()	(	InputArray	src,
		int	flags = 0 )

the operator that performs SVD. The previously allocated u, w and vt are released.

The operator performs the singular value decomposition of the supplied matrix. The u,vt , and the vector of singular values w are stored in the structure. The same SVD structure can be reused many times with different matrices. Each time, if needed, the previous u,vt , and w are reclaimed and the new matrices are created, which is all handled by Mat::create.

Parameters

src	decomposed matrix. The depth has to be CV_32F or CV_64F.
flags	operation flags (SVD::Flags)

solveZ()

static void cv::SVD::solveZ ( InputArray src, OutputArray dst )

static

solves an under-determined singular linear system

The method finds a unit-length solution x of a singular linear system A*x = 0. Depending on the rank of A, there can be no solutions, a single solution or an infinite number of solutions. In general, the algorithm solves the following problem:

\[dst = \arg \min _{x: \| x \| =1} \| src \cdot x \|\]

Parameters

src	left-hand-side matrix.
dst	found solution.
