Detailed Documentation

Feature matchers base class.

Methods

virtual
void
collectGarbage()

Frees unused memory allocated before if there is any.

bool
isThreadSafe() const

Returns:

True, if it’s possible to use the same matcher instance in parallel, false otherwise

void
operator()(
    const ImageFeatures& features1,
    const ImageFeatures& features2,
    MatchesInfo& matches_info
    )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Parameters:

features1	First image features
features2	Second image features
matches_info	Found matches

void
operator()(
    const std::vector<ImageFeatures>& features,
    std::vector<MatchesInfo>& pairwise_matches,
    const cv::UMat& mask = cv::UMat()
    )

Performs images matching.

The function is parallelized with the TBB library.

Parameters:

features	Features of the source images
pairwise_matches	Found pairwise matches
mask	Mask indicating which image pairs must be matched
