Detailed Description

Class used to detect a planar surface.

Deprecated:
This class is deprecated with OpenCV 3.0.0 or more recent.

This class allows to learn and recognise a surface in an image based on the Fern Classifier or any other point of interest matching class.

It uses the class vpFernClassifier to extract points of interest in a reference image. These points are recorded and a classifier is trained to recognises them.

In this class the points detected are assumed to belong to a planar surface. Therefore an homography can be computed between the reference image and the current image if the object is detected in the image.

A robust method (RANSAC) is used to remove outliers in the matching process.

The following example shows how to use the class.

#if VISP_HAVE_OPENCV_VERSION >= 0x020000 // Surf Fern classifier only available since 2.1.0
int main()
{
//First grab the reference image Ireference
//Select a part of the image by clincking on two points which define a rectangle
vpImagePoint corners[2];
for (int i=0 ; i < 2 ; i++)
{
vpDisplay::getClick(Ireference, corners[i]);
}
//Build the reference points (and train the classifier).
int nbrRef;
unsigned int height, width;
height = (unsigned int)(corners[1].get_i() - corners[0].get_i());
width = (unsigned int)(corners[1].get_j() - corners[0].get_j());
nbrRef = planar.buildReference(Ireference, corners[0], height, width);
//Then grab another image which represents the current image Icurrent
//Match points between the reference points and the current points computed in the current image.
bool isDetected;
height = (unsigned int)(corners[1].get_i() - corners[0].get_i());
width = (unsigned int)(corners[1].get_j() - corners[0].get_j());
isDetected = planar.matchPoint(Icurrent, corners[0], height, width);
//Display the matched points
if(isDetected){
planar.display(Ireference, Icurrent);
planar.getHomography(homography);
}
else{
std::cerr << "planar surface not detected in the current image" << std::endl;
}
return(0);
}

unsigned int vpPlanarObjectDetector::buildReference ( const vpImage< unsigned char > &  _I)

Train the classifier from the entire image (it is therefore assumed that the image is planar).

Depending on the parameters, the training can take up to several minutes.

Parameters
_I: The image use to train the classifier.
Returns
The number of reference points.

void vpPlanarObjectDetector::display ( vpImage< unsigned char > &  Iref,

bool  displayKpts = false 
)

This function displays the matched reference points and the matched points computed in the current image. The reference points are displayed in the image Ireference and the matched points coming from the current image are displayed in the image Icurrent. It is possible to set Ireference and Icurrent with the same image when calling the method.

Parameters
Iref: The image where the matched reference points are displayed.
Icurrent: The image where the matched points computed in the current image are displayed.
displayKpts: The flag to display keypoints in addition to the surface.
