Class OrientationHistogramSift<Deriv extends ImageGray<Deriv>>

java.lang.Object
boofcv.alg.feature.orientation.OrientationHistogramSift<Deriv>

public class OrientationHistogramSift<Deriv extends ImageGray<Deriv>> extends Object

Computes the orientation of a region around a point in scale-space as specified in the SIFT [1] paper. A histogram of angles is computed using a weighted sum of image derivatives. The size of the region is specified by the scale function parameter. Every pixel inside the sample region is read and contributes to the angle estimation. If the image border is encountered the sample return is truncated.

To get the orientation for the largest peak invoke getPeakOrientation(). Other

Differences from paper:
  • The angle in each bin is set to the atan2(y,x) of the weighted sum of image derivative
  • Interpolation is done using a 2nd degree polynomial instead of a parabola.
