I am using OpenCV and C ++. I want to check if an image is part of another image and have already found a function with a name matchTemplatethat works. But what if the image of the template is a little different? Is there a function or method similar matchTemplatethat checks if the template is part of the original image, but with tolerance parameters such as position , angle , size, and possibly even warping ? Or do I need a completely different approach than pattern matching?
Here is my code so far that finds the image of the template in the original image, but without (or almost no) tolerance.
#include <opencv2\core\core.hpp>
#include <opencv2\highgui\highgui.hpp>
#include <opencv2\imgproc\imgproc.hpp>
#include <opencv2\highgui\highgui.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace cv;
using namespace std;
Mat img; Mat templ; Mat result;
const char* image_window = "Source Image";
const char* result_window = "Result window";
int match_method;
int max_Trackbar = 5;
void MatchingMethod( int, void* );
int main( int, char** argv )
{
img = imread( "a1.jpg", 1 );
templ = imread( "a2.jpg", 1 );
namedWindow( image_window, WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
namedWindow( result_window, WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
const char* trackbar_label = "Method: \n 0: SQDIFF \n 1: SQDIFF NORMED \n 2: TM CCORR \n 3: TM CCORR NORMED \n 4: TM COEFF \n 5: TM COEFF NORMED";
createTrackbar( trackbar_label, image_window, &match_method, max_Trackbar, MatchingMethod );
MatchingMethod( 0, 0 );
waitKey(0);
return 0;
}
void MatchingMethod( int, void* )
{
Mat img_display;
img.copyTo( img_display );
int result_cols = img.cols - templ.cols + 1;
int result_rows = img.rows - templ.rows + 1;
result.create( result_cols, result_rows, CV_32FC1 );
matchTemplate( img, templ, result, match_method );
normalize( result, result, 0, 1, NORM_MINMAX, -1, Mat() );
double minVal; double maxVal; Point minLoc; Point maxLoc;
Point matchLoc;
minMaxLoc( result, &minVal, &maxVal, &minLoc, &maxLoc, Mat() );
if( match_method == TM_SQDIFF || match_method == TM_SQDIFF_NORMED )
{ matchLoc = minLoc; }
else
{ matchLoc = maxLoc; }
rectangle( img_display, matchLoc, Point( matchLoc.x + templ.cols , matchLoc.y + templ.rows ), Scalar::all(0), 2, 8, 0 );
rectangle( result, matchLoc, Point( matchLoc.x + templ.cols , matchLoc.y + templ.rows ), Scalar::all(0), 2, 8, 0 );
imshow( image_window, img_display );
imshow( result_window, result );
return;
}
Images I use in my code:
