Detailed Description

Class implementing BEBLID (Boosted Efficient Binary Local Image Descriptor), described in [237] .

BEBLID [237] is a efficient binary descriptor learned with boosting. It is able to describe keypoints from any detector just by changing the scale_factor parameter. In several benchmarks it has proved to largely improve other binary descriptors like ORB or BRISK with the same efficiency. BEBLID describes using the difference of mean gray values in different regions of the image around the KeyPoint, the descriptor is specifically optimized for image matching and patch retrieval addressing the asymmetries of these problems.

If you find this code useful, please add a reference to the following paper:

Iago Suárez, Ghesn Sfeir, José M. Buenaposada, and Luis Baumela. BEBLID: Boosted efficient binary local image descriptor. Pattern Recognition Letters, 133:366–372, 2020.

The descriptor was trained using 1 million of randomly sampled pairs of patches (20% positives and 80% negatives) from the Liberty split of the UBC datasets [279] as described in the paper [237]. You can check in the AKAZE example how well BEBLID works. Detecting 10000 keypoints with ORB and describing with BEBLID obtains 561 inliers (75%) whereas describing with ORB obtains only 493 inliers (63%).

Member Function Documentation

◆ create()

static Ptr<BEBLID> cv::xfeatures2d::BEBLID::create ( float  scale_factor,
int  n_bits = BEBLID::SIZE_512_BITS 
)
static
Python:
cv.xfeatures2d.BEBLID.create(scale_factor[, n_bits]) -> retval
cv.xfeatures2d.BEBLID_create(scale_factor[, n_bits]) -> retval

Creates the BEBLID descriptor.

Parameters
scale_factorAdjust the sampling window around detected keypoints:
  • 1.00f should be the scale for ORB keypoints
  • 6.75f should be the scale for SIFT detected keypoints
  • 6.25f is default and fits for KAZE, SURF detected keypoints
  • 5.00f should be the scale for AKAZE, MSD, AGAST, FAST, BRISK keypoints
n_bitsDetermine the number of bits in the descriptor. Should be either BEBLID::SIZE_512_BITS or BEBLID::SIZE_256_BITS.

◆ getDefaultName()

String cv::xfeatures2d::BEBLID::getDefaultName ( ) const
virtual
Python:
cv.xfeatures2d.BEBLID.getDefaultName() -> retval

Returns the algorithm string identifier. This string is used as top level xml/yml node tag when the object is saved to a file or string.

Reimplemented from cv::Feature2D.

◆ getScaleFactor()

virtual float cv::xfeatures2d::BEBLID::getScaleFactor ( ) const
pure virtual
Python:
cv.xfeatures2d.BEBLID.getScaleFactor() -> retval

◆ setScaleFactor()

virtual void cv::xfeatures2d::BEBLID::setScaleFactor ( float  scale_factor)
pure virtual
Python:
cv.xfeatures2d.BEBLID.setScaleFactor(scale_factor) -> None
