【OpenCV】特征检测器 FeatureDetector

OpenCV提供FeatureDetector实现特征检测及匹配

class CV_EXPORTS FeatureDetector
{
public:
    virtual ~FeatureDetector();
    void detect( const Mat& image, vector<KeyPoint>& keypoints,
        const Mat& mask=Mat() ) const;
    void detect( const vector<Mat>& images,
        vector<vector<KeyPoint> >& keypoints,
        const vector<Mat>& masks=vector<Mat>() ) const;
    virtual void read(const FileNode&);
    virtual void write(FileStorage&) const;
    static Ptr<FeatureDetector> create( const string& detectorType );
protected:
    ...
};

FeatureDetetor是虚类，通过定义FeatureDetector的对象可以使用多种特征检测方法。通过create()函数调用：

Ptr<FeatureDetector> FeatureDetector::create(const string& detectorType);

OpenCV 2.4.3提供了10种特征检测方法：

• "FAST" – FastFeatureDetector
• "STAR" – StarFeatureDetector
• "SIFT" – SIFT (nonfree module)
• "SURF" – SURF (nonfree module)
• "ORB" – ORB
• "MSER" – MSER
• "GFTT" – GoodFeaturesToTrackDetector
• "HARRIS" – GoodFeaturesToTrackDetector with Harris detector enabled
• "Dense" – DenseFeatureDetector
• "SimpleBlob" – SimpleBlobDetector

图片中的特征大体可分为三种：点特征、线特征、块特征。

FAST算法是Rosten提出的一种快速提取的点特征[1]，Harris与GFTT也是点特征，更具体来说是角点特征（参考这里）。

SimpleBlob是简单块特征，可以通过设置SimpleBlobDetector的参数决定提取图像块的主要性质，提供5种：

颜色 By color、面积 By area、圆形度 By circularity、最大inertia （不知道怎么翻译）与最小inertia的比例 By ratio of the minimum inertia to maximum inertia、以及凸性 By convexity.

最常用的当属SIFT，尺度不变特征匹配算法（参考这里）；以及后来发展起来的SURF，都可以看做较为复杂的块特征。这两个算法在OpenCV nonfree的模块里面，需要在附件引用项中添加opencv_nonfree243.lib，同时在代码中加入：

initModule_nonfree();

至于其他几种算法，我就不太了解了 ^_^

一个简单的使用演示：

int main()
{

    initModule_nonfree();//if use SIFT or SURF
    Ptr<FeatureDetector> detector = FeatureDetector::create( "SIFT" );
    Ptr<DescriptorExtractor> descriptor_extractor = DescriptorExtractor::create( "SIFT" );
    Ptr<DescriptorMatcher> descriptor_matcher = DescriptorMatcher::create( "BruteForce" );
    if( detector.empty() || descriptor_extractor.empty() )
        throw runtime_error("fail to create detector!");

    Mat img1 = imread("images\\box_in_scene.png");
    Mat img2 = imread("images\\box.png");

    //detect keypoints;
    vector<KeyPoint> keypoints1,keypoints2;
    detector->detect( img1, keypoints1 );
    detector->detect( img2, keypoints2 );
    cout <<"img1:"<< keypoints1.size() << " points  img2:" <<keypoints2.size() 
        << " points" << endl << ">" << endl;

    //compute descriptors for keypoints;
    cout << "< Computing descriptors for keypoints from images..." << endl;
    Mat descriptors1,descriptors2;
    descriptor_extractor->compute( img1, keypoints1, descriptors1 );
    descriptor_extractor->compute( img2, keypoints2, descriptors2 );

    cout<<endl<<"Descriptors Size: "<<descriptors2.size()<<" >"<<endl;
    cout<<endl<<"Descriptor's Column: "<<descriptors2.cols<<endl
        <<"Descriptor's Row: "<<descriptors2.rows<<endl;
    cout << ">" << endl;

    //Draw And Match img1,img2 keypoints
    Mat img_keypoints1,img_keypoints2;
    drawKeypoints(img1,keypoints1,img_keypoints1,Scalar::all(-1),0);
    drawKeypoints(img2,keypoints2,img_keypoints2,Scalar::all(-1),0);
    imshow("Box_in_scene keyPoints",img_keypoints1);
    imshow("Box keyPoints",img_keypoints2);

    descriptor_extractor->compute( img1, keypoints1, descriptors1 );  
    vector<DMatch> matches;
    descriptor_matcher->match( descriptors1, descriptors2, matches );

    Mat img_matches;
    drawMatches(img1,keypoints1,img2,keypoints2,matches,img_matches,Scalar::all(-1),CV_RGB(255,255,255),Mat(),4);

    imshow("Mathc",img_matches);
    waitKey(10000);
    return 0;
}

特征检测结果如图：

Box_in_scene

Box

特征点匹配结果：

Match

另一点需要一提的是SimpleBlob的实现是有Bug的。不能直接通过 Ptr<FeatureDetector> detector = FeatureDetector::create("SimpleBlob");  语句来调用，而应该直接创建 SimpleBlobDetector的对象：

        Mat image = imread("images\\features.jpg");
    Mat descriptors;
    vector<KeyPoint> keypoints;
    SimpleBlobDetector::Params params;
    //params.minThreshold = 10;
    //params.maxThreshold = 100;
    //params.thresholdStep = 10;
    //params.minArea = 10; 
    //params.minConvexity = 0.3;
    //params.minInertiaRatio = 0.01;
    //params.maxArea = 8000;
    //params.maxConvexity = 10;
    //params.filterByColor = false;
    //params.filterByCircularity = false;
    SimpleBlobDetector blobDetector( params );
    blobDetector.create("SimpleBlob");
    blobDetector.detect( image, keypoints );
    drawKeypoints(image, keypoints, image, Scalar(255,0,0));

以下是SimpleBlobDetector按颜色检测的图像特征：
