machinevisiontoolbox.ImagePointFeatures.BRIEFFeature

class machinevisiontoolbox.ImagePointFeatures.BRIEFFeature(kp=None, des=None, scale=False, orient=False, image=None)

Create set of BRIEF point features

__init__(kp=None, des=None, scale=False, orient=False, image=None)

Create set of 2D point features

Parameters:

• kp (list of N elements, optional) – list of opencv.KeyPoint objects, one per feature, defaults to None

• des (ndarray(N,M), optional) – Feature descriptor, each is an M-vector, defaults to None

• scale (bool, optional) – features have an inherent scale, defaults to False

• orient (bool, optional) – features have an inherent orientation, defaults to False

A BaseFeature2D object:

• has a length, the number of feature points it contains

• can be sliced to extract a subset of features

This object behaves like a list, allowing indexing, slicing and iteration over individual features. It also supports a number of convenience methods.

Note:

OpenCV consider feature points as opencv.KeyPoint objects and the descriptors as a multirow NumPy array. This class provides a more convenient abstraction.
