Detailed Description

Typedef Documentation

◆ AffineDescriptorExtractor

◆ AffineFeatureDetector

◆ DescriptorExtractor

#include <opencv2/features2d.hpp>

Extractors of keypoint descriptors in OpenCV have wrappers with a common interface that enables you to easily switch between different algorithms solving the same problem. This section is devoted to computing descriptors represented as vectors in a multidimensional space. All objects that implement the vector descriptor extractors inherit the DescriptorExtractor interface.

◆ FeatureDetector

#include <opencv2/features2d.hpp>

Feature detectors in OpenCV have wrappers with a common interface that enables you to easily switch between different algorithms solving the same problem. All objects that implement keypoint detectors inherit the FeatureDetector interface.

Function Documentation

◆ AGAST() [1/2]

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

#include <opencv2/features2d.hpp>

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

◆ AGAST() [2/2]

void cv::AGAST ( InputArray  image,
std::vector< KeyPoint > &  keypoints,
int  threshold,
bool  nonmaxSuppression,
int  type 
)

#include <opencv2/features2d.hpp>

Detects corners using the AGAST algorithm.

Parameters
imagegrayscale image where keypoints (corners) are detected.
keypointskeypoints detected on the image.
thresholdthreshold on difference between intensity of the central pixel and pixels of a circle around this pixel.
nonmaxSuppressionif true, non-maximum suppression is applied to detected corners (keypoints).
typeone 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 [145] .

◆ FAST() [1/2]

void cv::FAST ( InputArray  image,
std::vector< KeyPoint > &  keypoints,
int  threshold,
bool  nonmaxSuppression = true 
)

#include <opencv2/features2d.hpp>

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

◆ FAST() [2/2]

void cv::FAST ( InputArray  image,
std::vector< KeyPoint > &  keypoints,
int  threshold,
bool  nonmaxSuppression,
int  type 
)

#include <opencv2/features2d.hpp>

Detects corners using the FAST algorithm.

Parameters
imagegrayscale image where keypoints (corners) are detected.
keypointskeypoints detected on the image.
thresholdthreshold on difference between intensity of the central pixel and pixels of a circle around this pixel.
nonmaxSuppressionif true, non-maximum suppression is applied to detected corners (keypoints).
typeone 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 [185] .

Note
In Python API, types are given as cv2.FAST_FEATURE_DETECTOR_TYPE_5_8, cv2.FAST_FEATURE_DETECTOR_TYPE_7_12 and cv2.FAST_FEATURE_DETECTOR_TYPE_9_16. For corner detection, use cv2.FAST.detect() method.
