Detailed Description

Class implementing the AKAZE keypoint detector and descriptor extractor, described in [1].

AKAZE descriptors can only be used with KAZE or AKAZE keypoints. This class is thread-safe.

Note
When you need descriptors use Feature2D::detectAndCompute, which provides better performance. When using Feature2D::detect followed by Feature2D::compute scale space pyramid is computed twice.
AKAZE implements T-API. When image is passed as UMat some parts of the algorithm will use OpenCL.

◆ clear()

)
virtualinherited

Computes the descriptors for a set of keypoints detected in an image (first variant) or image set (second variant).

Parameters
imageImage.
keypointsInput collection of keypoints. Keypoints for which a descriptor cannot be computed are removed. Sometimes new keypoints can be added, for example: SIFT duplicates keypoint with several dominant orientations (for each orientation).
descriptorsComputed descriptors. In the second variant of the method descriptors[i] are descriptors computed for a keypoints[i]. Row j is the keypoints (or keypoints[i]) is the descriptor for keypoint j-th keypoint.

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

Parameters
imagesImage set.
keypointsInput collection of keypoints. Keypoints for which a descriptor cannot be computed are removed. Sometimes new keypoints can be added, for example: SIFT duplicates keypoint with several dominant orientations (for each orientation).

Parameters

objnameThe optional name of the node to read (if empty, the first top-level node will be used)

This is static template method of Algorithm. It's usage is following (in the case of SVM):

In order to make this method work, the derived class must overwrite Algorithm::read(const FileNode& fn).
