i've implemented this OpenCV build into my iphone project:
http://aptogo.co.uk/2011/09/opencv-framework-for-ios/
It builds successfully and i know how to capture an image with my camera, grayscale it and show it on an imageview.
But what i'd like to do is templatematching with the image that i captured (with the camera) against an template image.
I have both images grayscaled, but i just don't get how the 'matchTemplate' works. This is what i have so far:
cv::Mat grayFrame, grayImg, output;
// This is the template image which i store in a cv::Mat and
// after that i grayscale the image
UIImage *testImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"qr.png"];
cv::Mat tempMat = [testImage CVMat];
cv::cvtColor(tempMat, grayImg, cv::COLOR_RGB2GRAY);
// Convert captured frame to grayscale
cv::cvtColor(_lastFrame, grayFrame, cv::COLOR_RGB2GRAY);
// Having trouble here...
cv::matchTemplate(grayFrame, grayImg, output, CV_TM_CCORR_NORMED);
// Display result
// This already works for both the captured image and the template image
camView.image = [UIImage imageWithCVMat:grayFrame];
The problem with this code is, is this line:
cv::matchTemplate(grayFrame, grayImg, output, 1);
I'm not sure if i'm doing it right. Because i don't get a result back in 'output' like "MinMax" to get the positions of the found match... Am i even passing the right variables to the matchTemplate function...??
Anyway, can someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong and how to make this work?
- edit - Added a screenshot of my variable 'output'
Thanks for any help!
