Class FeaturePyramid<T extends ImageGray,D extends ImageGray>

java.lang.Object

boofcv.alg.feature.detect.interest.FeaturePyramid<T,D>

All Implemented Interfaces:

InterestPointScaleSpacePyramid<T>

public class FeaturePyramid<T extends ImageGray,D extends ImageGray>
extends java.lang.Object
implements InterestPointScaleSpacePyramid<T>

Detects scale invariant interest/corner points by computing the feature intensities across a pyramid of different scales. Features which are maximums with in a local 2D neighborhood and within the local scale neighbourhood are declared to be features. Maximums are checked for in scale space by comparing the feature intensity against features in the upper and lower layers.

NOTE: Features are not computed for the bottom and top most layers in the pyramid.
NOTE: See discussion of scalePower inside of FeatureLaplacePyramid.

Constructor Detail

FeaturePyramid

public FeaturePyramid(GeneralFeatureDetector<T,D> detector,
                      AnyImageDerivative<T,D> computeDerivative,
                      double scalePower)

Create a feature detector.

Parameters:

detector - Point feature detector which is used to find candidates in each scale level

scalePower - Used to normalize feature intensity at different scales. For many features this should be one.
