\cvCPyFunc{Canny}
|
|
Implements the Canny algorithm for edge detection.
|
|
|
|
\cvdefC{
|
|
void cvCanny(\par const CvArr* image,
|
|
\par CvArr* edges,
|
|
\par double threshold1,
|
|
\par double threshold2,
|
|
\par int aperture\_size=3 );
|
|
}\cvdefPy{Canny(image,edges,threshold1,threshold2,aperture\_size=3)-> None}
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\cvarg{image}{Single-channel input image}
|
|
\cvarg{edges}{Single-channel image to store the edges found by the function}
|
|
\cvarg{threshold1}{The first threshold}
|
|
\cvarg{threshold2}{The second threshold}
|
|
\cvarg{aperture\_size}{Aperture parameter for the Sobel operator (see \cvCPyCross{Sobel})}
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
The function finds the edges on the input image \texttt{image} and marks them in the output image \texttt{edges} using the Canny algorithm. The smallest value between \texttt{threshold1} and \texttt{threshold2} is used for edge linking, the largest value is used to find the initial segments of strong edges.
|
|
|
|
\cvCPyFunc{CornerEigenValsAndVecs}
|
|
Calculates eigenvalues and eigenvectors of image blocks for corner detection.
|
|
|
|
\cvdefC{
|
|
void cvCornerEigenValsAndVecs( \par const CvArr* image,\par CvArr* eigenvv,\par int blockSize,\par int aperture\_size=3 );
|
|
|
|
}\cvdefPy{CornerEigenValsAndVecs(image,eigenvv,blockSize,aperture\_size=3)-> None}
|
|
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\cvarg{image}{Input image}
|
|
\cvarg{eigenvv}{Image to store the results. It must be 6 times wider than the input image}
|
|
\cvarg{blockSize}{Neighborhood size (see discussion)}
|
|
\cvarg{aperture\_size}{Aperture parameter for the Sobel operator (see \cvCPyCross{Sobel})}
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
For every pixel, the function \texttt{cvCornerEigenValsAndVecs} considers a $\texttt{blockSize} \times \texttt{blockSize}$ neigborhood S(p). It calcualtes the covariation matrix of derivatives over the neigborhood as:
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
M = \begin{bmatrix}
|
|
\sum_{S(p)}(dI/dx)^2 & \sum_{S(p)}(dI/dx \cdot dI/dy)^2 \\
|
|
\sum_{S(p)}(dI/dx \cdot dI/dy)^2 & \sum_{S(p)}(dI/dy)^2
|
|
\end{bmatrix}
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
After that it finds eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the matrix and stores them into destination image in form
|
|
$(\lambda_1, \lambda_2, x_1, y_1, x_2, y_2)$ where
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[$\lambda_1, \lambda_2$]are the eigenvalues of $M$; not sorted
|
|
\item[$x_1, y_1$]are the eigenvectors corresponding to $\lambda_1$
|
|
\item[$x_2, y_2$]are the eigenvectors corresponding to $\lambda_2$
|
|
\end{description}

|
|
|
\cvCPyFunc{CornerHarris}
|
|
Harris edge detector.
|
|
|
|
\cvdefC{
|
|
void cvCornerHarris(
|
|
\par const CvArr* image,
|
|
\par CvArr* harris\_dst,
|
|
\par int blockSize,
|
|
\par int aperture\_size=3,
|
|
\par double k=0.04 );
|
|
}
|
|
\cvdefPy{CornerHarris(image,harris\_dst,blockSize,aperture\_size=3,k=0.04)-> None}
|
|

\begin{description}
|
|
\cvarg{image}{Input image}
|
|
\cvarg{harris\_dst}{Image to store the Harris detector responses. Should have the same size as \texttt{image}}
|

\cvarg{blockSize}{Neighborhood size (see the discussion of \cvCPyCross{CornerEigenValsAndVecs})}
|

% format. In the case of floating-point input format this parameter is the number of the fixed float filter used for differencing
|
|
\cvarg{k}{Harris detector free parameter. See the formula below}
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
The function runs the Harris edge detector on the image. Similarly to \cvCPyCross{CornerMinEigenVal} and \cvCPyCross{CornerEigenValsAndVecs}, for each pixel it calculates a $2\times2$ gradient covariation matrix $M$ over a $\texttt{blockSize} \times \texttt{blockSize}$ neighborhood. Then, it stores
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
det(M) - k \, trace(M)^2
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
to the destination image. Corners in the image can be found as the local maxima of the destination image.
|
|
|
|
\cvCPyFunc{CornerMinEigenVal}
|
|
Calculates the minimal eigenvalue of gradient matrices for corner detection.
|
|
|
|
\cvdefC{
|
|
void cvCornerMinEigenVal(
|
|
\par const CvArr* image,
|
|
\par CvArr* eigenval,
|
|
\par int blockSize,
|
|
\par int aperture\_size=3 );
|
|
}\cvdefPy{CornerMinEigenVal(image,eigenval,blockSize,aperture\_size=3)-> None}
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\cvarg{image}{Input image}
|
|
\cvarg{eigenval}{Image to store the minimal eigenvalues. Should have the same size as \texttt{image}}

\cvarg{blockSize}{Neighborhood size (see the discussion of \cvCPyCross{CornerEigenValsAndVecs})}

\cvarg{aperture\_size}{Aperture parameter for the Sobel operator (see \cvCPyCross{Sobel}).}
|
|
% format. In the case of floating-point input format this parameter is the number of the fixed float filter used for differencing
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
The function is similar to \cvCPyCross{CornerEigenValsAndVecs} but it calculates and stores only the minimal eigen value of derivative covariation matrix for every pixel, i.e. $min(\lambda_1, \lambda_2)$ in terms of the previous function.
|
|
|
|
\cvCPyFunc{FindCornerSubPix}
|
|
Refines the corner locations.
|
|
|
|
\cvdefC{
|
|
void cvFindCornerSubPix(
|
|
\par const CvArr* image,
|
|
\par CvPoint2D32f* corners,
|
|
\par int count,
|

\par CvSize win,
|
|
\par CvSize zero\_zone,
|
|
\par CvTermCriteria criteria );
|
|
}\cvdefPy{FindCornerSubPix(image,corners,win,zero\_zone,criteria)-> corners}

\fi
|
|
\ifPy
|
|
\cvarg{corners}{Initial coordinates of the input corners as a list of (x, y) pairs}
|
|
\fi
|
|
\cvarg{win}{Half of the side length of the search window. For example, if \texttt{win}=(5,5), then a $5*2+1 \times 5*2+1 = 11 \times 11$ search window would be used}
|
|
\cvarg{zero\_zone}{Half of the size of the dead region in the middle of the search zone over which the summation in the formula below is not done. It is used sometimes to avoid possible singularities of the autocorrelation matrix. The value of (-1,-1) indicates that there is no such size}
|
|
\cvarg{criteria}{Criteria for termination of the iterative process of corner refinement. That is, the process of corner position refinement stops either after a certain number of iterations or when a required accuracy is achieved. The \texttt{criteria} may specify either of or both the maximum number of iteration and the required accuracy}
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
The function iterates to find the sub-pixel accurate location of corners, or radial saddle points, as shown in on the picture below.
|
|
\ifPy
|
|
It returns the refined coordinates as a list of (x, y) pairs.
|
|
\fi

\includegraphics[width=1.0\textwidth]{pics/cornersubpix.png}
|
|
|
|
Sub-pixel accurate corner locator is based on the observation that every vector from the center $q$ to a point $p$ located within a neighborhood of $q$ is orthogonal to the image gradient at $p$ subject to image and measurement noise. Consider the expression:
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
\epsilon_i = {DI_{p_i}}^T \cdot (q - p_i)
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
where ${DI_{p_i}}$ is the image gradient at the one of the points $p_i$ in a neighborhood of $q$. The value of $q$ is to be found such that $\epsilon_i$ is minimized. A system of equations may be set up with $\epsilon_i$ set to zero:
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
\sum_i(DI_{p_i} \cdot {DI_{p_i}}^T) q = \sum_i(DI_{p_i} \cdot {DI_{p_i}}^T \cdot p_i)
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
where the gradients are summed within a neighborhood ("search window") of $q$. Calling the first gradient term $G$ and the second gradient term $b$ gives:
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
q = G^{-1} \cdot b
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
The algorithm sets the center of the neighborhood window at this new center $q$ and then iterates until the center keeps within a set threshold.

\cvCPyFunc{GoodFeaturesToTrack}

Determines strong corners on an image.

|

\cvarg{k}{Free parameter of Harris detector; used only if ($\texttt{useHarris} != 0$)}
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
The function finds the corners with big eigenvalues in the image. The function first calculates the minimal
|
|
eigenvalue for every source image pixel using the \cvCPyCross{CornerMinEigenVal}
|
|
function and stores them in \texttt{eigImage}. Then it performs
|
|
non-maxima suppression (only the local maxima in $3\times 3$ neighborhood
|
|
are retained). The next step rejects the corners with the minimal
|
|
eigenvalue less than $\texttt{qualityLevel} \cdot max(\texttt{eigImage}(x,y))$.
|
|
Finally, the function ensures that the distance between any two corners is not smaller than \texttt{minDistance}. The weaker corners (with a smaller min eigenvalue) that are too close to the stronger corners are rejected.
|
|
|
|
Note that the if the function is called with different values \texttt{A} and \texttt{B} of the parameter \texttt{qualityLevel}, and \texttt{A} > {B}, the array of returned corners with \texttt{qualityLevel=A} will be the prefix of the output corners array with \texttt{qualityLevel=B}.

Finds lines in a binary image using a Hough transform.

matrix (CvMat*) of a particular type (see below) to which the lines'

parameters are written. The matrix header is modified by the function

so its \texttt{cols} or \texttt{rows} will contain the number of lines

detected. If \texttt{storage} is a matrix and the actual number

\item For the multi-scale Hough transform it is the divisor for the distance resolution $\rho$. (The coarse distance resolution will be $\rho$ and the accurate resolution will be $(\rho / \texttt{param1})$).

The function finds edges in the input image \texttt{image} and marks them in the output map \texttt{edges} using the Canny algorithm. The smallest value between \texttt{threshold1} and \texttt{threshold2} is used for edge linking, the largest value is used to find the initial segments of strong edges, see

|
|
|
|
For every pixel $p$, the function \texttt{cornerEigenValsAndVecs} considers a \texttt{blockSize} $\times$ \texttt{blockSize} neigborhood $S(p)$. It calculates the covariation matrix of derivatives over the neighborhood as:
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
M = \begin{bmatrix}
|
|
\sum_{S(p)}(dI/dx)^2 & \sum_{S(p)}(dI/dx dI/dy)^2 \\
|
|
\sum_{S(p)}(dI/dx dI/dy)^2 & \sum_{S(p)}(dI/dy)^2
|
|
\end{bmatrix}
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
Where the derivatives are computed using \cvCppCross{Sobel} operator.
|
|
|
|
After that it finds eigenvectors and eigenvalues of $M$ and stores them into destination image in the form
|
|
$(\lambda_1, \lambda_2, x_1, y_1, x_2, y_2)$ where
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[$\lambda_1, \lambda_2$]are the eigenvalues of $M$; not sorted
|
|
\item[$x_1, y_1$]are the eigenvectors corresponding to $\lambda_1$
|
|
\item[$x_2, y_2$]are the eigenvectors corresponding to $\lambda_2$
|
|
\end{description}

The output of the function can be used for robust edge or corner detection.

The function runs the Harris edge detector on the image. Similarly to \cvCppCross{cornerMinEigenVal} and \cvCppCross{cornerEigenValsAndVecs}, for each pixel $(x, y)$ it calculates a $2\times2$ gradient covariation matrix $M^{(x,y)}$ over a $\texttt{blockSize} \times \texttt{blockSize}$ neighborhood. Then, it computes the following characteristic:
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
\texttt{dst}(x,y) = \mathrm{det} M^{(x,y)} - k \cdot \left(\mathrm{tr} M^{(x,y)}\right)^2
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
Corners in the image can be found as the local maxima of this response map.
|
|
|
|
\cvCppFunc{cornerMinEigenVal}
|
|
Calculates the minimal eigenvalue of gradient matrices for corner detection.
|
|
|

The function is similar to \cvCppCross{cornerEigenValsAndVecs} but it calculates and stores only the minimal eigenvalue of the covariation matrix of derivatives, i.e. $\min(\lambda_1, \lambda_2)$ in terms of the formulae in \cvCppCross{cornerEigenValsAndVecs} description.

|
|
\cvarg{zeroZone}{Half of the size of the dead region in the middle of the search zone over which the summation in the formula below is not done. It is used sometimes to avoid possible singularities of the autocorrelation matrix. The value of (-1,-1) indicates that there is no such size}
|
|
\cvarg{criteria}{Criteria for termination of the iterative process of corner refinement. That is, the process of corner position refinement stops either after a certain number of iterations or when a required accuracy is achieved. The \texttt{criteria} may specify either of or both the maximum number of iteration and the required accuracy}
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
The function iterates to find the sub-pixel accurate location of corners, or radial saddle points, as shown in on the picture below.
|
|
|
|
\includegraphics[width=1.0\textwidth]{pics/cornersubpix.png}
|
|
|
|
Sub-pixel accurate corner locator is based on the observation that every vector from the center $q$ to a point $p$ located within a neighborhood of $q$ is orthogonal to the image gradient at $p$ subject to image and measurement noise. Consider the expression:
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
\epsilon_i = {DI_{p_i}}^T \cdot (q - p_i)
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
where ${DI_{p_i}}$ is the image gradient at the one of the points $p_i$ in a neighborhood of $q$. The value of $q$ is to be found such that $\epsilon_i$ is minimized. A system of equations may be set up with $\epsilon_i$ set to zero:
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
\sum_i(DI_{p_i} \cdot {DI_{p_i}}^T) - \sum_i(DI_{p_i} \cdot {DI_{p_i}}^T \cdot p_i)
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
where the gradients are summed within a neighborhood ("search window") of $q$. Calling the first gradient term $G$ and the second gradient term $b$ gives:
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
q = G^{-1} \cdot b
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
The algorithm sets the center of the neighborhood window at this new center $q$ and then iterates until the center keeps within a set threshold.

\cvarg{qualityLevel}{Characterizes the minimal accepted quality of image corners; the value of the parameter is multiplied by the by the best corner quality measure (which is the min eigenvalue, see \cvCppCross{cornerMinEigenVal}, or the Harris function response, see \cvCppCross{cornerHarris}). The corners, which quality measure is less than the product, will be rejected. For example, if the best corner has the quality measure = 1500, and the \texttt{qualityLevel=0.01}, then all the corners which quality measure is less than 15 will be rejected.}

|
|
|
|
The function finds the most prominent corners in the image or in the specified image region, as described
|
|
in \cite{Shi94}:
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item the function first calculates the corner quality measure at every source image pixel using the \cvCppCross{cornerMinEigenVal} or \cvCppCross{cornerHarris}
|
|
\item then it performs non-maxima suppression (the local maxima in $3\times 3$ neighborhood
|
|
are retained).
|
|
\item the next step rejects the corners with the minimal eigenvalue less than $\texttt{qualityLevel} \cdot \max_{x,y} qualityMeasureMap(x,y)$.
|
|
\item the remaining corners are then sorted by the quality measure in the descending order.
|
|
\item finally, the function throws away each corner $pt_j$ if there is a stronger corner $pt_i$ ($i < j$) such that the distance between them is less than \texttt{minDistance}
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
The function can be used to initialize a point-based tracker of an object.
|
|
|
|
Note that the if the function is called with different values \texttt{A} and \texttt{B} of the parameter \texttt{qualityLevel}, and \texttt{A} > {B}, the vector of returned corners with \texttt{qualityLevel=A} will be the prefix of the output vector with \texttt{qualityLevel=B}.

The function finds circles in a grayscale image using some modification of Hough transform. Here is a short usage example:
|
|
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}

{

Mat img, gray;
|
|
if( argc != 2 && !(img=imread(argv[1], 1)).data)
|
|
return -1;
|
|
cvtColor(img, gray, CV_BGR2GRAY);
|
|
// smooth it, otherwise a lot of false circles may be detected
|
|
GaussianBlur( gray, gray, Size(9, 9), 2, 2 );
|
|
vector<Vec3f> circles;
|
|
HoughCircles(gray, circles, CV_HOUGH_GRADIENT,
|
|
2, gray->rows/4, 200, 100 );
|
|
for( size_t i = 0; i < circles.size(); i++ )

|
{
|

Point center(cvRound(circles[i][0]), cvRound(circles[i][1]));

int radius = cvRound(circles[i][2]);
|

// draw the circle center
|
|

|
|
// draw the circle outline
|

}

\end{lstlisting}
|
|
|
|
Note that usually the function detects the circles' centers well, however it may fail to find the correct radii. You can assist the function by specifying the radius range (\texttt{minRadius} and \texttt{maxRadius}) if you know it, or you may ignore the returned radius, use only the center and find the correct radius using some additional procedure.

Mat corners, dilated_corners;
|
|
preCornerDetect(image, corners, 3);
|
|

|
dilate(corners, dilated_corners, Mat(), 1);
|
|
Mat corner_mask = corners == dilated_corners;
