Detailed Description

Class that implements the SURF key points and technics thanks to OpenCV library.

Deprecated:
This class is deprecated with OpenCV 3.0.0 or more recent. You should rather use vpKeyPoint class that is more generic.

The goal of this class is to provide a tool to match points from a model and points belonging to an image in which the model appears. The coordinates of the different reference points and matched points are given in pixel thanks to the class vpImagePoint. In this documentation we do not explain the SURF technics. So if you want to learn more about it you can refer to the following article : Herbert Bay, Tinne Tuytelaars and Luc Van Gool "SURF: Speeded Up Robust Features", Proceedings of the 9th European Conference on Computer Vision, Springer LNCS volume 3951, part 1, pp 404–417, 2006.

If you use this class the first things you have to do is to create the reference thanks to a reference image which contains the interesting object to detect. Then you have to grab other images containing the object. After calling the specific method to match points you can access to the lists of matched points thanks to the methods getMatchedPointsInReferenceImage() and getMatchedPointsInCurrentImage(). These two methods return a list of matched points. The nth element of the first list is matched with the nth element of the second list. The following small example show how to use the class.

#include <visp3/core/vpConfig.h>
#include <visp3/core/vpImage.h>
#include <visp3/vision/vpKeyPointSurf.h>
int main()
{
#if defined (VISP_HAVE_OPENCV_NONFREE) && (VISP_HAVE_OPENCV_VERSION < 0x030000)
// First grab the reference image Ireference
// Build the reference SURF points.
surf.buildReference(Ireference);
// Then grab another image which represents the current image Icurrent
// Match points between the reference points and the SURF points computed in the current image.
surf.matchPoint(Icurrent);
// Display the matched points
surf.display(Ireference, Icurrent);
return (0);
#endif
}

It is also possible to create the reference thanks to only a part of the reference image (not the whole image) and find points to match in only a part of the current image. The small following example shows how to this

#include <visp3/core/vpConfig.h>
#include <visp3/core/vpDisplay.h>
#include <visp3/core/vpImage.h>
#include <visp3/vision/vpKeyPointSurf.h>
int main()
{
#if defined (VISP_HAVE_OPENCV_NONFREE) && (VISP_HAVE_OPENCV_VERSION < 0x030000)
//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 SURF points.
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 = surf.buildReference(Ireference, corners[0], height, width);
//Then grab another image which represents the current image Icurrent
//Select a part of the image by clincking on two points which define a rectangle
for (int i=0 ; i < 2 ; i++) {
vpDisplay::getClick(Icurrent, corners[i]);
}
//Match points between the reference points and the SURF points computed in the current image.
int nbrMatched;
height = (unsigned int)(corners[1].get_i() - corners[0].get_i());
width = (unsigned int)(corners[1].get_j() - corners[0].get_j());
nbrMatched = surf.matchPoint(Icurrent, corners[0], height, width);
//Display the matched points
surf.display(Ireference, Icurrent);
return(0);
#endif
}
