Detailed Description

Class for extracting blobs from an image.

:

The class implements a simple algorithm for extracting blobs from an image:

1. Convert the source image to binary images by applying thresholding with several thresholds from minThreshold (inclusive) to maxThreshold (exclusive) with distance thresholdStep between neighboring thresholds. 2. Extract connected components from every binary image by findContours and calculate their centers. 3. Group centers from several binary images by their coordinates. Close centers form one group that corresponds to one blob, which is controlled by the minDistBetweenBlobs parameter. 4. From the groups, estimate final centers of blobs and their radiuses and return as locations and sizes of keypoints.

This class performs several filtrations of returned blobs. You should set filterBy\* to true/false to turn on/off corresponding filtration. Available filtrations:

  • **By color**. This filter compares the intensity of a binary image at the center of a blob to blobColor. If they differ, the blob is filtered out. Use blobColor = 0 to extract dark blobs and blobColor = 255 to extract light blobs.
  • **By area**. Extracted blobs have an area between minArea (inclusive) and maxArea (exclusive).
  • **By circularity**. Extracted blobs have circularity ( $\frac{4*\pi*Area}{perimeter * perimeter}$) between minCircularity (inclusive) and maxCircularity (exclusive).
  • **By ratio of the minimum inertia to maximum inertia**. Extracted blobs have this ratio between minInertiaRatio (inclusive) and maxInertiaRatio (exclusive).
  • **By convexity**. Extracted blobs have convexity (area / area of blob convex hull) between minConvexity (inclusive) and maxConvexity (exclusive).

Default values of parameters are tuned to extract dark circular blobs.

virtual CV_WRAP void clear (  ) [virtual, inherited]

Clears the algorithm state.

Reimplemented in DescriptorMatcher, and FlannBasedMatcher.

virtual CV_WRAP void compute ( InputArray  image,
CV_OUT CV_IN_OUT std::vector< KeyPoint > &  keypoints,
OutputArray  descriptors 
) [virtual, inherited]

Computes the descriptors for a set of keypoints detected in an image (first variant) or image set (second variant).

Parameters:
imageImage.
keypointsInput collection of keypoints. Keypoints for which a descriptor cannot be computed are removed. Sometimes new keypoints can be added, for example: SIFT duplicates keypoint with several dominant orientations (for each orientation).
descriptorsComputed descriptors. In the second variant of the method descriptors[i] are descriptors computed for a keypoints[i]. Row j is the keypoints (or keypoints[i]) is the descriptor for keypoint j-th keypoint.
virtual void compute ( InputArrayOfArrays  images,
std::vector< std::vector< KeyPoint > > &  keypoints,
OutputArrayOfArrays  descriptors 
) [virtual, inherited]

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

Parameters:
imagesImage set.
keypointsInput collection of keypoints. Keypoints for which a descriptor cannot be computed are removed. Sometimes new keypoints can be added, for example: SIFT duplicates keypoint with several dominant orientations (for each orientation).
descriptorsComputed descriptors. In the second variant of the method descriptors[i] are descriptors computed for a keypoints[i]. Row j is the keypoints (or keypoints[i]) is the descriptor for keypoint j-th keypoint.
virtual CV_WRAP void detect ( InputArray  image,
CV_OUT std::vector< KeyPoint > &  keypoints,
InputArray  mask = noArray() 
) [virtual, inherited]

Detects keypoints in an image (first variant) or image set (second variant).

Parameters:
imageImage.
keypointsThe detected keypoints. In the second variant of the method keypoints[i] is a set of keypoints detected in images[i] .
maskMask specifying where to look for keypoints (optional). It must be a 8-bit integer matrix with non-zero values in the region of interest.
virtual void detect ( InputArrayOfArrays  images,
std::vector< std::vector< KeyPoint > > &  keypoints,

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

Parameters:
imagesImage set.
keypointsThe detected keypoints. In the second variant of the method keypoints[i] is a set of keypoints detected in images[i] .
masksMasks for each input image specifying where to look for keypoints (optional). masks[i] is a mask for images[i].

) [virtual, inherited]

Detects keypoints and computes the descriptors.

virtual CV_WRAP bool empty (  ) const [virtual, inherited]

Return true if detector object is empty.

Reimplemented from Algorithm.

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.

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

Reads algorithm parameters from a file storage.

Reimplemented in DescriptorMatcher, and FlannBasedMatcher.

Definition at line 2992 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 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 void write ( FileStorage fs ) const [virtual, inherited]

Stores algorithm parameters in a file storage.

Reimplemented in DescriptorMatcher, and FlannBasedMatcher.
