OpenCV中的SURF算法介绍

SURF:speed up robust feature,翻译为快速鲁棒特征。首先就其中涉及到的特征点和描述符做一些简单的介绍:

  • 特征点和描述符  

  特征点分为两类:狭义特征点和广义特征点。狭义特征点的位置本身具有常规的属性意义,比如角点、交叉点等等。而广义特征点是基于区域定义的,它本身的位置不具备特征意义,只代表满足一定特征条件的特征区域的位置。广义特征点可以是某特征区域的任一相对位置。这种特征可以不是物理意义上的特征,只要满足一定的数学描述就可以,因而有时是抽象的。因此,从本质上说,广义特征点可以认为是一个抽象的特征区域,它的属性就是特征区域具备的属性;称其为点,是将其抽象为一个位置概念。

  特征点既是一个点的位置标识,同时也说明它的局部邻域具有一定的模式特征。事实上,特征点是一个具有一定特征的局部区域的位置标识,称其为点,是将其抽象为一个位置概念,以便于确定两幅图像中同一个位置点的对应关系而进行图像匹配。所以在特征匹配过程中是以该特征点为中心,将邻域的局部特征进行匹配。也就是说在进行特征匹配时首先要为这些特征点(狭义和广义)建立特征描述,这种特征描述通常称之为描述符。 

  一个好的特征点需要有一个好的描述方法将其表现出来,它涉及到的是图像匹配的一个准确性。因此在基于特征点的图像拼接和图像配准技术中,特征点和描述符同样重要。

  • 其他
1 // DMatch function
2 DMatch(int queryIdx, int trainIdx, float distance)

其中 queryIdx 和 trainIdx 对应的特征点索引由match 函数决定,例如:

1 // 按如下顺序使用
2 match(descriptor_for_keypoints1, descriptor_for_keypoints2, matches)

queryIdx 和 trainIdx分别对应keypoints1和keypoints2。
