Speeded Up Robust Feature (SURF) is a region descriptor and interest point detector. Two different ways of using SURF are demonstrated in this example. The easy way uses a high level interface that is easy to work with, but sacrifices flexibility. The harder way directly creates the SURF classes, is more complex, and requires a better understanding of how the code works.

Example File: ExampleFeatureSurf.java

Concepts:

  • SURF
  • Region Descriptor
  • Interest Point

Example Code

/**
 * Example of how to use SURF detector and descriptors in BoofCV. 
 * 
 * @author Peter Abeles
 */
public class ExampleFeatureSurf {

	/**
	 * Use generalized interfaces for working with SURF.  This removes much of the drudgery, but also reduces flexibility
	 * and slightly increases memory and computational requirements.
	 * 
	 *  @param image Input image type. DOES NOT NEED TO BE GrayF32, GrayU8 works too
	 */
	public static void easy( GrayF32 image ) {
		// create the detector and descriptors
		DetectDescribePoint<GrayF32,BrightFeature> surf = FactoryDetectDescribe.
				surfStable(new ConfigFastHessian(0, 2, 200, 2, 9, 4, 4), null, null,GrayF32.class);

		 // specify the image to process
		surf.detect(image);

		System.out.println("Found Features: "+surf.getNumberOfFeatures());
		System.out.println("First descriptor's first value: "+surf.getDescription(0).value[0]);
	}

	/**
	 * Configured exactly the same as the easy example above, but require a lot more code and a more in depth
	 * understanding of how SURF works and is configured.  Instead of TupleDesc_F64, SurfFeature are computed in
	 * this case.  They are almost the same as TupleDesc_F64, but contain the Laplacian's sign which can be used
	 * to speed up association. That is an example of how using less generalized interfaces can improve performance.

	 * @param image Input image type. DOES NOT NEED TO BE GrayF32, GrayU8 works too
