Detailed Description

Implementation of the Shape Context descriptor and matching algorithm.

proposed by Belongie et al. in "Shape Matching and Object Recognition Using Shape Contexts" (PAMI 2002). This implementation is packaged in a generic scheme, in order to allow you the implementation of the common variations of the original pipeline.

Member Function Documentation

virtual CV_WRAP void clear (  ) [virtual, inherited]

Clears the algorithm state.

Reimplemented in DescriptorMatcher, and FlannBasedMatcher.

Definition at line 2984 of file core.hpp.

virtual CV_WRAP float computeDistance ( InputArray  contour1,
InputArray  contour2 
) [pure virtual, inherited]

Compute the shape distance between two shapes defined by its contours.

Parameters:
contour1Contour defining first shape.
contour2Contour defining second shape.
virtual bool empty (  ) const [virtual, inherited]

Returns true if the Algorithm is empty (e.g.

in the very beginning or after unsuccessful read

Reimplemented in Feature2D, DescriptorMatcher, and StatModel.

Definition at line 2996 of file core.hpp.

virtual CV_WRAP String getDefaultName (  ) const [virtual, inherited]

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.

static Ptr<_Tp> load ( const String &  filename,
const String &  objname = String() 
) [static, inherited]

Loads algorithm from the file.

Parameters:
filenameName of the file to read.
objnameThe optional name of the node to read (if empty, the first top-level node will be used)

This is static template method of Algorithm. It's usage is following (in the case of SVM):

     Ptr<SVM> svm = Algorithm::load<SVM>("my_svm_model.xml");

In order to make this method work, the derived class must overwrite Algorithm::read(const FileNode& fn).

Definition at line 3027 of file core.hpp.

static Ptr<_Tp> loadFromString ( const String &  strModel,
const String &  objname = String() 
) [static, inherited]

Loads algorithm from a String.

Parameters:
strModelThe string variable containing the model you want to load.
objnameThe optional name of the node to read (if empty, the first top-level node will be used)

This is static template method of Algorithm. It's usage is following (in the case of SVM):

     Ptr<SVM> svm = Algorithm::loadFromString<SVM>(myStringModel);

Definition at line 3046 of file core.hpp.

static Ptr<_Tp> read ( const FileNode fn ) [static, inherited]

Reads algorithm from the file node.

This is static template method of Algorithm. It's usage is following (in the case of SVM):

     Ptr<SVM> svm = Algorithm::read<SVM>(fn);

In order to make this method work, the derived class must overwrite Algorithm::read(const FileNode& fn) and also have static create() method without parameters (or with all the optional parameters)

Reimplemented in DescriptorMatcher, and FlannBasedMatcher.

Definition at line 3008 of file core.hpp.

virtual void read ( const FileNode fn ) [virtual, inherited]

Reads algorithm parameters from a file storage.

Definition at line 2992 of file core.hpp.

virtual CV_WRAP void save ( const String &  filename ) const [virtual, inherited]

Saves the algorithm to a file.

In order to make this method work, the derived class must implement Algorithm::write(FileStorage& fs).

virtual CV_WRAP void setAngularBins ( int  nAngularBins ) [pure virtual]

Establish the number of angular bins for the Shape Context Descriptor used in the shape matching pipeline.

Parameters:
nAngularBinsThe number of angular bins in the shape context descriptor.
virtual CV_WRAP void setBendingEnergyWeight ( float  bendingEnergyWeight ) [pure virtual]

Set the weight of the Bending Energy in the final value of the shape distance.

The bending energy definition depends on what transformation is being used to align the shapes. The final value of the shape distance is a user-defined linear combination of the shape context distance, an image appearance distance, and a bending energy.

Parameters:
bendingEnergyWeightThe weight of the Bending Energy in the final distance value.
virtual CV_WRAP void setCostExtractor ( Ptr< HistogramCostExtractor comparer ) [pure virtual]

virtual CV_WRAP void setImageAppearanceWeight ( float  imageAppearanceWeight ) [pure virtual]

Set the weight of the Image Appearance cost in the final value of the shape distance.

The image appearance cost is defined as the sum of squared brightness differences in Gaussian windows around corresponding image points. The final value of the shape distance is a user-defined linear combination of the shape context distance, an image appearance distance, and a bending energy. If this value is set to a number different from 0, is mandatory to set the images that correspond to each shape.

Parameters:
imageAppearanceWeightThe weight of the appearance cost in the final distance value.
virtual CV_WRAP void setImages ( InputArray  image1,
InputArray  image2 
) [pure virtual]

Set the images that correspond to each shape.

This images are used in the calculation of the Image Appearance cost.

virtual CV_WRAP void setShapeContextWeight ( float  shapeContextWeight ) [pure virtual]

Set the weight of the shape context distance in the final value of the shape distance.

The shape context distance between two shapes is defined as the symmetric sum of shape context matching costs over best matching points. The final value of the shape distance is a user-defined linear combination of the shape context distance, an image appearance distance, and a bending energy.

Parameters:
