Class GenericDescriptorMatcher

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.opencv.features2d.GenericDescriptorMatcher

public class GenericDescriptorMatcher
extends java.lang.Object

Abstract interface for extracting and matching a keypoint descriptor. There are also "DescriptorExtractor" and "DescriptorMatcher" for these purposes but their interfaces are intended for descriptors represented as vectors in a multidimensional space. GenericDescriptorMatcher is a more generic interface for descriptors. DescriptorMatcher and GenericDescriptorMatcher have two groups of match methods: for matching keypoints of an image with another image or with an image set.

Finds the best match in the training set for each keypoint from the query set.

The methods find the best match for each query keypoint. In the first variant of the method, a train image and its keypoints are the input arguments. In the second variant, query keypoints are matched to the internally stored training collection that can be built using the GenericDescriptorMatcher.add method. Optional mask (or masks) can be passed to specify which query and training descriptors can be matched. Namely, queryKeypoints[i] can be matched with trainKeypoints[j] only if mask.at(i,j) is non-zero.

Parameters:
queryImage - Query image.
queryKeypoints - Keypoints detected in queryImage.
trainImage - Train image. It is not added to a train image collection stored in the class object.
trainKeypoints - Keypoints detected in trainImage. They are not added to a train points collection stored in the class object.
matches - Matches. If a query descriptor (keypoint) is masked out in mask, match is added for this descriptor. So, matches size may be smaller than the query keypoints count.
