I am using Ubuntu 12.04. I recently installed OpenCV 3.0 from https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/archive/3.0.0-alpha.zip. I want to do feature matching for which I used the following code:
import numpy as np
import cv2
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
MIN_MATCH_COUNT = 10
img1 = cv2.imread('box.png',0) # queryImage
img2 = cv2.imread('box_in_scene.png',0) # trainImage
# Initiate SIFT detector
sift = cv2.SIFT()
# find the keypoints and descriptors with SIFT
kp1, des1 = sift.detectAndCompute(img1,None)
kp2, des2 = sift.detectAndCompute(img2,None)
FLANN_INDEX_KDTREE = 0
index_params = dict(algorithm = FLANN_INDEX_KDTREE, trees = 5)
search_params = dict(checks = 50)
flann = cv2.FlannBasedMatcher(index_params, search_params)
matches = flann.knnMatch(des1,des2,k=2)
# store all the good matches as per Lowe's ratio test.
good = []
for m,n in matches:
if m.distance < 0.7*n.distance:
good.append(m)
if len(good)>MIN_MATCH_COUNT:
src_pts = np.float32([ kp1[m.queryIdx].pt for m in good ]).reshape(-1,1,2)
dst_pts = np.float32([ kp2[m.trainIdx].pt for m in good ]).reshape(-1,1,2)
M, mask = cv2.findHomography(src_pts, dst_pts, cv2.RANSAC,5.0)
matchesMask = mask.ravel().tolist()
h,w = img1.shape
pts = np.float32([ [0,0],[0,h-1],[w-1,h-1],[w-1,0] ]).reshape(-1,1,2)
dst = cv2.perspectiveTransform(pts,M)
img2 = cv2.polylines(img2,[np.int32(dst)],True,255,3, cv2.CV_AA)
else:
print "Not enough matches are found - %d/%d" % (len(good),MIN_MATCH_COUNT)
matchesMask = None
draw_params = dict(matchColor = (0,255,0), # draw matches in green color
singlePointColor = None,
matchesMask = matchesMask, # draw only inliers
flags = 2)
img3 = cv2.drawMatches(img1,kp1,img2,kp2,good,None,**draw_params)
plt.imshow(img3, 'gray'),plt.show()
I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "feature_matching.py", line 11, in <module>
sift = cv2.SIFT()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SIFT'
Why is SIFT not available in OpenCV 3.0? How do I add SIFT to OpenCV 3.0? Any help would be appreciated. Thankyou.
PS. I tried including modules from https://github.com/Itseez/opencv_contrib
$ cd <opencv_build_directory>
$ cmake -DOPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=<opencv_contrib>/modules <opencv_source_directory>
$ make -j5
$ make install
yes, you need to build the opencv_extra modules (esp. xfeatures2d).
don't forget to run make install
after the cmake/make step (your new python module has to get copied over to python/lib/sitelibs)
in 3.0 it's : cv2.xfeatures2d.SIFT
(note the additional namespace)
