So this is my idea : I have a photo of a supermarket shelf (Shelf example)
and I would like to have it "categorized" by objects or "same-object-sets", something like this (but on the whole picture)
Do you have any ideas of how this could be done, using a Visual Recognition API or something like OpenCV maybe ?
Thanks ;)
You can give a look to template matching with opencv as shown here or here for a multiscale approach.
For some theory about how it's done you can look here.

I have an image of a layer of carbon nanotubes taken with an electronic microscope and I would like to extract the "shape" of every nanotube.
I think that ImageJ could be very helpful since it has already led me to encouraging results, but I am sure that they could be improved.
Here is the image I start with :
I have seen that there are many tools to detect for example cells, or to divide an image in two areas (with the trainable Weka segmentation tool for instance), but I did not find anything to "follow" a tube from the beginning to the end. Does such a tool exist ?
What would you advise me to do to clean the image ? So far, I have tried 'auto local threshold' (loss of information), 'Remove outliers', 'analyse particles' (to remove the too-little-to-be-tubes-particles), and some skeleton tools + OrientationJ to extract information.
Thank you very much for your help !
EDIT : the "Tubeness" plugin was very helpful Tubeness documentation
I am working on post processing of disparity map.
My disparity image, even though it is WLS filtered, has too many 'holes'.
This is what i get for now. Rectified, but in fish eye way. Anyway rectified for sure, but have many holes. Disparity matching algorithm is SGBM. WLS filter sigma is 2.1, lambda is 30000. Black regions are holes.
I am referring official opencv site which says Disparity map post-filtering and it is using DisparityWLSFilter extensively. But I wonder how it works internally and want to read theoretical paper regarding this implementation. I want to know what Sigma and Lambda does, and how it will filter my image.
And, is there any other good disparity filter that i can use? WLS filter cannot fill the 'holes' effectively. Or, any algorithm that is easy to use or easy to implement, or library that is not GPL?
Self reply.
Got answer from Opencv.
Orig question is HERE.

Check out the comments here, and the code here. That should answer some of your questions. To see how the code author has come up with this method perhaps should contact him directly as there is no reference for that in the code comments.
I am trying to determine when a food packaging have error or not error. Example
the logo " McDonald's " have error misprints or not, as the wrong label, wrong color..( i can not post picture )
What should I do, please help me!!
It's not a trivial task by any stretch of the imagination. Two images of the same identical object will always be different according to lightning conditions, perspective, shooting angle, etc.
Basically you need to:
1. Process the 2 images into "digested" data - dominant color, shapes, etcw
2. Design and run your own similarity algorithm between the 2 objects
You may want to look at Feature detectors in OpenCV: Surf, SIFT, etc.
Along a result I just found your question, so I think I come too late.
If not I think your problem car easily be resolved, it exists since years and is called Sikuli .
While it's for testing purposes, I have been using it in the same way as you need : compare a reference and a production image. Based on OpenCV it does it very well.
I'm working with openCV and I'm a newbie in this field. I'm researching about Camshift. I want to extend this method by using multiple histograms. It means when tracking an object has many than one apperance (ex: rubik cube with six apperance), if we use only one histogram, Camshift will most likely fail.
I know calcHist function in openCV (http://docs.opencv.org/modules/imgproc/doc/histograms.html#calchist) has a parameter is "accumulate", but I don't know how to use and when to use (apply for camshiftdemo.cpp in opencv samples folder). This function can help me solve this problem? Or I have to use difference solution?
I have an idea, that is: create an array histogram for object, for every appearance condition that strongly varies in color, we pre-compute and store all to this array. But when we compute new histogram? It means that the pre-condition to start compute new histogram is what?
And what happend if I have to track multiple object has same color?
Everybody please help me. Thank you so much!
I'm trying to reduce the calculation time of my stitching algorithm. I got some images which I want to stitch in a defined order but it seems like cv::stitcher.stitch() function tries to stitch every image with every other image.
I feel like I might find the solution in the parameters of OpenCV Stitcher. If not maybe I have to modify the function or try something else to reduce calculation time. But since I'm pretty much a beginner, I don't know how. I know that using GPU might be a possibility but I just don't get CUDA running on Ubuntu at the moment.
It would be great if you could give me some advice!
Parameters for OpenCV Stitcher module:
Stitcher Stitcher::createDefault(bool try_use_gpu) {
Stitcher stitcher;
stitcher.setRegistrationResol(0.6);
stitcher.setSeamEstimationResol(0.1);
stitcher.setCompositingResol(ORIG_RESOL);
stitcher.setPanoConfidenceThresh(1);
stitcher.setWaveCorrection(true);
stitcher.setWaveCorrectKind(detail::WAVE_CORRECT_HORIZ);
stitcher.setFeaturesMatcher(new detail::BestOf2NearestMatcher(try_use_gpu));
stitcher.setBundleAdjuster(new detail::BundleAdjusterRay());
from stitcher.cpp:
https://code.ros.org/trac/opencv/browser/trunk/opencv/modules/stitching/src/stitcher.cpp?rev=7244
I want to stitch in a defined order but it seems like
cv::stitcher.stitch() function tries to stitch every image with every
other image.
cv::stitcher does not have a parameter to fulfil your requirement.
However, in the stitching_detailed.cpp sample you have the --rangewidth parameter. By setting it to 1, the algorithm will only consider adjacent image pairs (e.g. for pair 1-2 matches would be computed but not for pair 1-3)
