Questions tagged [keypoint]

In computer vision field a keypoint is an interest point detected by the SIFT algorithm. Use this tag for programming issues related to the use of keypoints in the field of computer vision.

is an algorithm that finds "keypoints" in images that are robust to scale variations, perspective and lighting. In order to identify those keypoints, descriptors are generated basing on the surrounding pixels of the keypoint. This way, the same keypoints can be located in different images, which is called matching.

Programing questions related to keypoints in computer vision applications are an appropriate field for this tag.

How to visualize descriptors and keypoints from raw pointcloud?

I am trying to extract NARF keypoints and descriptors for raw pointcloud data using pcl::NarfKeypoint , pcl::NarfDescriptor. In visualization process, I can simply plot my keypoints along with the range image generated from the original…

matchShapes() opencv giving false positives

I am trying to find an object image into a scene image. I am using opencv to detect the keypoints using SURF. I am using matchDescriptors to match the object descriptors with the scene descriptors, however this is resulting always in object found.…

What are the main rates and values we should figure to evaluate both feature detection, description and matching?

I work on palmprint recognition using feature2D with Open_CV library, and I use algorithms such as SIFT, SURF, ORB... to detect features and extract/match descriptors. My test include (1 vs 1) palmprint and also (1 vs Data Base) of palmprint. Ones…

OpenCV C++ create reusable set of keypoints and descriptors for stitching multiple images

I have created a program that can stitch multiple images together and am now looking to improve the efficiency of it. Depending on the size of the stitched image, eventually it is to large and contains too many keypoints that the machine runs out of…

Find pixel coordinates in an input image in keypoint matching algorithm using opencv?

I want to find out a given image in an input image......first I used template matching using opencv but its not giving proper result. So I switched to keypoint matching using SIFT with opencv. But I am not able to find pixel location in a input…

Which keypoint detector is used by ARToolkit(version 5)?

In their blog post , they have mentioned that they use FREAK descriptor but they haven't mentioned which detector are they using to identify the keypoints . Does anybody know anything about it???

How to detect key-points that lies on the ground plane?

I have two images from the same video sequence. I find correspondent key-points on them as follows My goal is to detect the homography that relates both ground planes in image 1 and image 2 (without calibrating the camera). So my current problem…
