Goal

=====
|
|
|
|
In this tutorial you will learn how to:
|
|
|
|
.. container:: enumeratevisibleitemswithsquare
|
|
|
|
* Use the OpenCV functions :pyr_up:`pyrUp <>` and :pyr_down:`pyrDown <>` to downsample or upsample a given image.

Theory
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The explanation below belongs to the book **Learning OpenCV** by Bradski and Kaehler.
|
|
|
|
.. container:: enumeratevisibleitemswithsquare
|
|
|
|
* Usually we need to convert an image to a size different than its original. For this, there are two possible options:
|
|
|
|
#. *Upsize* the image (zoom in) or
|
|
#. *Downsize* it (zoom out).
|
|
|
|
* Although there is a *geometric transformation* function in OpenCV that -literally- resize an image (:resize:`resize <>`, which we will show in a future tutorial), in this section we analyze first the use of **Image Pyramids**, which are widely applied in a huge range of vision applications.

Image Pyramid
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
.. container:: enumeratevisibleitemswithsquare
|
|
|
|
* An image pyramid is a collection of images - all arising from a single original image - that are successively downsampled until some desired stopping point is reached.
|
|
|
|
* There are two common kinds of image pyramids:
|
|
|
|
* **Gaussian pyramid:** Used to downsample images
|
|
|
|
* **Laplacian pyramid:** Used to reconstruct an upsampled image from an image lower in the pyramid (with less resolution)
|
|
|
|
* In this tutorial we'll use the *Gaussian pyramid*.
|
|
|
|
Gaussian Pyramid
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
* Imagine the pyramid as a set of layers in which the higher the layer, the smaller the size.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/Pyramids_Tutorial_Pyramid_Theory.png
|
|
:alt: Pyramid figure
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
* Every layer is numbered from bottom to top, so layer :math:`(i+1)` (denoted as :math:`G_{i+1}` is smaller than layer :math:`i` (:math:`G_{i}`).
|
|
|
|
* To produce layer :math:`(i+1)` in the Gaussian pyramid, we do the following:
|
|
|
|
* Convolve :math:`G_{i}` with a Gaussian kernel:
|
|
|
|
.. math::
|
|
|
|
\frac{1}{16} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 4 & 6 & 4 & 1 \\ 4 & 16 & 24 & 16 & 4 \\ 6 & 24 & 36 & 24 & 6 \\ 4 & 16 & 24 & 16 & 4 \\ 1 & 4 & 6 & 4 & 1 \end{bmatrix}
|
|
|
|
* Remove every even-numbered row and column.
|
|
|
|
* You can easily notice that the resulting image will be exactly one-quarter the area of its predecessor. Iterating this process on the input image :math:`G_{0}` (original image) produces the entire pyramid.
|
|
|
|
* The procedure above was useful to downsample an image. What if we want to make it bigger?:
|
|
|
|
* First, upsize the image to twice the original in each dimension, wit the new even rows and columns filled with zeros (:math:`0`)
|
|
|
|
* Perform a convolution with the same kernel shown above (multiplied by 4) to approximate the values of the "missing pixels"
|
|
|
|
* These two procedures (downsampling and upsampling as explained above) are implemented by the OpenCV functions :pyr_up:`pyrUp <>` and :pyr_down:`pyrDown <>`, as we will see in an example with the code below:
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
When we reduce the size of an image, we are actually *losing* information of the image.

Explanation
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
#. Let's check the general structure of the program:
|
|
|
|
* Load an image (in this case it is defined in the program, the user does not have to enter it as an argument)
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cpp
|
|
|
|
/// Test image - Make sure it s divisible by 2^{n}
|
|
src = imread( "../images/chicky_512.jpg" );
|
|
if( !src.data )
|
|
{ printf(" No data! -- Exiting the program \n");
|
|
return -1; }
|
|
|
|
* Create a Mat object to store the result of the operations (*dst*) and one to save temporal results (*tmp*).
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cpp
|
|
|
|
Mat src, dst, tmp;
|
|
/* ... */
|
|
tmp = src;
|
|
dst = tmp;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Create a window to display the result
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cpp
|
|
|
|
namedWindow( window_name, CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
|
|
imshow( window_name, dst );
|
|
|
|
* Perform an infinite loop waiting for user input.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cpp
|
|
|
|
while( true )
|
|
{
|
|
int c;
|
|
c = waitKey(10);
|
|
|
|
if( (char)c == 27 )
|
|
{ break; }
|
|
if( (char)c == 'u' )
|
|
{ pyrUp( tmp, dst, Size( tmp.cols*2, tmp.rows*2 ) );
|
|
printf( "** Zoom In: Image x 2 \n" );
|
|
}
|
|
else if( (char)c == 'd' )
|
|
{ pyrDown( tmp, dst, Size( tmp.cols/2, tmp.rows/2 ) );
|
|
printf( "** Zoom Out: Image / 2 \n" );
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
imshow( window_name, dst );
|
|
tmp = dst;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our program exits if the user presses *ESC*. Besides, it has two options:
|
|
|
|
* **Perform upsampling (after pressing 'u')**
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cpp
|
|
|
|
pyrUp( tmp, dst, Size( tmp.cols*2, tmp.rows*2 )
|
|
|
|
We use the function :pyr_up:`pyrUp <>` with 03 arguments:
|
|
|
|
* *tmp*: The current image, it is initialized with the *src* original image.
|
|
* *dst*: The destination image (to be shown on screen, supposedly the double of the input image)
|
|
* *Size( tmp.cols*2, tmp.rows*2 )* : The destination size. Since we are upsampling, :pyr_up:`pyrUp <>` expects a size double than the input image (in this case *tmp*).
|
|
|
|
* **Perform downsampling (after pressing 'd')**
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cpp
|
|
|
|
pyrDown( tmp, dst, Size( tmp.cols/2, tmp.rows/2 )
|
|
|
|
Similarly as with :pyr_up:`pyrUp <>`, we use the function :pyr_down:`pyrDown <>` with 03 arguments:
|
|
|
|
* *tmp*: The current image, it is initialized with the *src* original image.
|
|
* *dst*: The destination image (to be shown on screen, supposedly half the input image)
|
|
* *Size( tmp.cols/2, tmp.rows/2 )* : The destination size. Since we are upsampling, :pyr_down:`pyrDown <>` expects half the size the input image (in this case *tmp*).
|
|
|
|
* Notice that it is important that the input image can be divided by a factor of two (in both dimensions). Otherwise, an error will be shown.
|
|
|
|
* Finally, we update the input image **tmp** with the current image displayed, so the subsequent operations are performed on it.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cpp
|
|
|
|
tmp = dst;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
* After compiling the code above we can test it. The program calls an image **chicky_512.jpg** that comes in the *tutorial_code/image* folder. Notice that this image is :math:`512 \times 512`, hence a downsample won't generate any error (:math:`512 = 2^{9}`). The original image is shown below:
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/Pyramids_Tutorial_Original_Image.jpg
|
|
:alt: Pyramids: Original image
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
* First we apply two successive :pyr_down:`pyrDown <>` operations by pressing 'd'. Our output is:
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/Pyramids_Tutorial_PyrDown_Result.jpg
|
|
:alt: Pyramids: PyrDown Result
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
* Note that we should have lost some resolution due to the fact that we are diminishing the size of the image. This is evident after we apply :pyr_up:`pyrUp <>` twice (by pressing 'u'). Our output is now:
