Detailed Description

Abstract base class for training the bag of visual words vocabulary from a set of descriptors.

For details, see, for example, Visual Categorization with Bags of Keypoints by Gabriella Csurka, Christopher R. Dance, Lixin Fan, Jutta Willamowski, Cedric Bray, 2004. :

Member Function Documentation

◆ add()

void cv::BOWTrainer::add ( const Mat & descriptors )

Adds descriptors to a training set.

Parameters

descriptors Descriptors to add to a training set. Each row of the descriptors matrix is a descriptor.

The training set is clustered using clustermethod to construct the vocabulary.

◆ clear()

virtual void cv::BOWTrainer::clear ( )

virtual

◆ cluster() [1/2]

virtual Mat cv::BOWTrainer::cluster ( ) const

pure virtual

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Implemented in cv::BOWKMeansTrainer.

◆ cluster() [2/2]

virtual Mat cv::BOWTrainer::cluster ( const Mat & descriptors ) const

pure virtual

Clusters train descriptors.

Parameters

descriptors Descriptors to cluster. Each row of the descriptors matrix is a descriptor. Descriptors are not added to the inner train descriptor set.

The vocabulary consists of cluster centers. So, this method returns the vocabulary. In the first variant of the method, train descriptors stored in the object are clustered. In the second variant, input descriptors are clustered.

Implemented in cv::BOWKMeansTrainer.

◆ descriptorsCount()

int cv::BOWTrainer::descriptorsCount ( ) const

Returns the count of all descriptors stored in the training set.

◆ getDescriptors()

const std::vector< Mat > & cv::BOWTrainer::getDescriptors ( ) const

Returns a training set of descriptors.
