I'm trying to implement SUSAN corner detector in OpenCV Details here.
So far I have the filtering function, but there is a problem, that this is not an linear operation. According to documentation it's possible to use FilterEngine and BaseFilter to write custom filters. There are unfortunately no detail how to implement the filtering function dst(x,y) = F(src x kernel). I'm using C++ and OpenCV 2.3.
Thanks in advance.
A nice tutorial how to implement custom 2D filter based on kernel convolution is here!

I need to improve image quality, from low quality to high hd quality. I am using OpenCV libraries. I experimented a lot with GaussianBlur(), Laplacian(), transformation functions, filter functions etc, but all I could succeed is to convert image to hd resolution and keep the same quality. Is it possible to do this? Do I need to implement my own algorithm or is there a way how it's done? I will really appreciate any kind of help. Thanks in advance.
I used this link for my reference. It has other interesting filters that you can play with.
If you are using C++:
detailEnhance(Mat src, Mat dst, float sigma_s=10, float sigma_r=0.15f)
If you are using python:
dst = cv2.detailEnhance(src, sigma_s=10, sigma_r=0.15)
The variable 'sigma_s' determines how big the neighbourhood of pixels must be to perform filtering.
The variable 'sigma_r' determines how the different colours within the neighbourhood of pixels will be averaged with each other. Its range is from: 0 - 1. A smaller value means similar colors will be averaged out while different colors remain as they are.
Since you are looking for sharpness in the image, I would suggest you keep the kernel as minimum as possible.
Here is the result I obtained for a sample image:
1. Original image:
2. Sharpened image for lower sigma_r value:
3. Sharpened image for higher sigma_r value:
Check the above mentioned link for more information.
How about applying Super Resolution in OpenCV? A reference article with more details can be found here: https://learnopencv.com/super-resolution-in-opencv/
So basically you will need to have the Python dependency opencv-contrib-python installed, together with a working version of opencv-python.
There are different techniques for the Super Resolution in OpenCV you can choose from, including EDSR, ESPCN, FSRCNN, and LapSRN. Code examples in both Python and C++ have been included in the tutorial article as well for easy reference.
A correction is needed
dst = cv2.detailEnhance(src, sigma_s=10, sigma_r=0.15)
using kernel will give error.
+1 to kris stern answer,
If you are looking for practical implementation of super resolution using pretrained model in OpenCV, have a look at below notebook also video describing details.
https://github.com/pankajr141/experiments/blob/master/Reasoning/ComputerVision/super_resolution_enhancing_image_quality_using_pretrained_models.ipynb
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrWIYWO4bac&list=UUplf_LWNn0a9ubnKCZ-95YQ&index=4
Below is a sample code using opencv
model_pretrained = cv2.dnn_superres.DnnSuperResImpl_create()
# setting up the model initialization
model_pretrained.readModel(filemodel_filepath)
model_pretrained.setModel(modelname, scale)
# prediction or upscaling
img_upscaled = model_pretrained.upsample(img_small)
How do i do a gaussi smoothing in the 3th dimension?
I have this detection pyramid, votes accumulated at four scales. Objects are found at each peak.
I already smoothed each of them in 2d, and reading in my papers that i need to filter the third dimension with a \sigma = 1, which i havent tried before, i am not even sure what it means.
I Figured out how to do it in Matlab, and need something simular in opencv/c++.
Matlab Raw Values:
Matlab Smoothen with M0 = smooth3(M0,'gaussian'); :
Gaussian filters are separable. You apply 1D filter at each dimension as follows:
for (dim = 0; dim < D; dim++)
tensor = gaussian_filter(tensor, dim);
I would recommend OpenCV for an implementation of a gaussian filter (and image processing in general) in C++.
Note that this assumes that your pyramid levels are all of the same size.
You can have your own functions that sample your scale-space pyramid on the fly while convolving the third dimension, but if you have enough memory I believe that it would be faster to scale up your coarser level to have the same size of the finest level.
Long ago (in 2008-2009) I have developed a small C++ template lib to apply some simple transformations and convolution filters. The library's source can be found in the Linderdaum Engine - it has nothing to do with the rest of the engine and does not use any of the engine's features. The license is MIT, so do whatever you want with it.
Take a look into the Linderdaum's source code (http://www.linderdaum.com) at Src/Linderdaum/Images/VolumeLib.*
The function to prepare the kernel is PrepareGaussianFilter() and MakeScalarVolumeConvolution() applies the filter. It is easy to adapt the library for the different data sources because the I/O is implemented using callback functions.
Hi (sorry for my english) .. i'm working in a project for University in this project i need to use the MBA (Multilevel B-Spline Approximation) algorithm to get some points (control points) of a image to use in other operations.
I'm reading a lot of papers about this algorithm, and i think i understand, but i can't writing.
The idea is: Read a image, process a image (OpenCV), then get control points of the image, use this points.
So the problem here is:
The algorithm use a set of points {(x,y,z)} , this set of points are approximated with a surface generated with the control points obtained from MBA. the set of points {(x,y,z)} represents de data we need to approximate (the image)..
So, the image is in a cv::Mat format , how can transform this format to an ordinary array to simply access to the data an manipulate...
Here are one paper with an explanation of the method:
(Paper) REGULARIZED MULTILEVEL B-SPLINE REGISTRATION
(Paper)Scattered Data Interpolation with Multilevel B-splines
(Matlab)MBA
If someone can help, maybe a guideline, idea or anything will be appreciate ..
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Finally i wrote the algorithm in C++ using armadillo and OpenCV ...
Well i'm using armadillo a C++ linear algebra library to works with matrix for the algorithm
I am trying to use cvstereorectify (link) to give me the Q matrix that I could then use back in cvReprojectImageto3D.
In the documentation of cvstereorectify though I am unsure how to get the R & T- The rotation matrix and the translation vector between the two cameras.Are there any methods that can help me do this? Any guidance is appreciated.
Use StereoCalibrate
May anyone give me a quick guide on how to use Cimg to compute SVD for a 3-dimension array?
I just want to get the decomposition of the array in order to compress it small for speeding up further process.
What value should I input at where, and how to get the output?
I've been searched around and still can't understand how it works. and not really fully understand how SVD works as well..only know that it can used to decompress matrix.
At the same time I found that OpenCV and Eigen library also can done the job, do let me know their steps if is much more easier..
(Alternative for me instead of SVD is PCA, which I found its source/library but also don't know how to use..)
Thanks!
