Detailed Description

Detect blobs in image (specialized for dynamic obstacles in the costmap)

This class is based on OpenCV's blob detector cv::SimpleBlobDetector. It has been modified and specialized for dynamic obstacle tracking in the costmap: -> The modified version also returns contours of the blob.

See http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/d0/d7a/classcv_1_1SimpleBlobDetector.html for the original class.

params

)

[static]

Create shared instance of the blob detector with given parameters.

void BlobDetector::detect	(	const cv::Mat &	image,
		std::vector< cv::KeyPoint > &	keypoints,
		const cv::Mat &	mask = cv::Mat()
	)		[virtual]

Detects keypoints in an image and extracts contours.

In contrast to the original detect method, this extended version also extracts contours. Contours can be accessed by getContours() after invoking this method.

Todo:

The mask option is currently not implemented.

Parameters:

image	image
keypoints	The detected keypoints.
mask	Mask specifying where to look for keypoints (optional). It must be a 8-bit integer matrix with non-zero values in the region of interest.

const std::vector<std::vector<cv::Point> >& BlobDetector::getContours

(

)

[inline]

Access contours extracted during detection stage.

Returns:

Read-only reference to the contours set of the previous detect() run
