Function Documentation

AGAST()

void cv::xfeatures2d::AGAST	(	InputArray	image,
		std::vector< KeyPoint > &	keypoints,
		int	threshold,
		bool	nonmaxSuppression = true,
		AgastFeatureDetector::DetectorType	type = AgastFeatureDetector::OAST_9_16 )

#include <opencv2/xfeatures2d.hpp>

Detects corners using the AGAST algorithm.

Parameters

image	grayscale image where keypoints (corners) are detected.
keypoints	keypoints detected on the image.
threshold	threshold on difference between intensity of the central pixel and pixels of a circle around this pixel.
nonmaxSuppression	if true, non-maximum suppression is applied to detected keypoints (corners).
type	one of the four neighborhoods as defined in the paper: AgastFeatureDetector::AGAST_5_8, AgastFeatureDetector::AGAST_7_12d, AgastFeatureDetector::AGAST_7_12s, AgastFeatureDetector::OAST_9_16

For non-Intel platforms, there is a tree optimised variant of AGAST with same numerical results. The 32-bit binary tree tables were generated automatically from original code using perl script. The perl script and examples of tree generation are placed in features2d/doc folder. Detects corners using the AGAST algorithm by [182] .

FASTForPointSet()

void cv::xfeatures2d::FASTForPointSet	(	InputArray	image,
		std::vector< KeyPoint > &	keypoints,
		int	threshold,
		bool	nonmaxSuppression = true,
		cv::FastFeatureDetector::DetectorType	type = FastFeatureDetector::TYPE_9_16 )

#include <opencv2/xfeatures2d.hpp>

Estimates cornerness for prespecified KeyPoints using the FAST algorithm.

Parameters

image	grayscale image where keypoints (corners) are detected.
keypoints	keypoints which should be tested to fit the FAST criteria. Keypoints not being detected as corners are removed.
threshold	threshold on difference between intensity of the central pixel and pixels of a circle around this pixel.
nonmaxSuppression	if true, non-maximum suppression is applied to detected corners (keypoints).
type	one of the three neighborhoods as defined in the paper: FastFeatureDetector::TYPE_9_16, FastFeatureDetector::TYPE_7_12, FastFeatureDetector::TYPE_5_8

Detects corners using the FAST algorithm by [231] .
