F_VN_MatchDescriptorsBFExp 2: Inputs

Name

Type

Description

ipQueryDescriptors

ITcVnImage

Query descriptors (i.e. descriptors of a reference/template image)

ipTrainDescriptors

ITcVnImage

Training descriptors (i.e. descriptors of a source/input image)

ipMatches

Reference To ITcVnContainer

Returns a container which is filled with the descriptor matches (ContainerType_Vector_TcVnDMatch; Non-zero interface pointers are reused.)

ipMask

ITcVnImage

Mask to specify permissable matches, i.e. query[i] can be matched with train[j] only if mask[i][j] != 0 (set to 0 if no mask required)

eNormType

ETcVnNormalizationType

Normalization type (only L1, L2, L2SQR, HAMMING, HAMMING2 supported). HAMMING2 should be used for ORB descriptors if the ORB nBriefPoints parameter is 3 or 4)

bCrossCheck

BOOL

If true, only consistent matches are returned, i.e. query->train and train->query detect the same match

hrPrev

HRESULT

HRESULT indicating the result of previous operations (If SUCCEEDED(hrPrev) equals false, no operation is executed.)
