logpolar transform using Camera


The logpolar transform function emulates the human “foveal” vision and can be used for fast scale and rotation-invariant template matching, for object tracking and so forth. The function can not operate in-place.
"The foveal system of the human eye is the only part of the retina that permits 100% visual acuity. The line-of-sight is a virtual line connecting the fovea with a fixation point in the outside world." Wikipedia;

cvLogPolar( src, dst, cvPoint2D32f(src->width/2,src->height/2), 40,
CV_INTER_LINEAR+CV_WARP_FILL_OUTLIERS );
cvLogPolar( dst, src2, cvPoint2D32f(src->width/2,src->height/2), 40,

  1. what is the purpose or use of Log Polar Transform or Inverse Log Polar Transform in real-life? can it be used to estimate distance from frontal camera view?

Computing Entropy of an image (CORRECTED)

entropy is a measure of the uncertainty associated with a random variable. basically i want to get a single value representing the entropy of an image. 1. Assign 255 bins for the range of values between 0-255 2. separate the image into its 3 channels 3. compute histogram for each channel 4. normalize all 3 channels unifirmely 5. for each channel get the bin value (Hc) and use its absolute value (negative log is infinity) 6. compute Hc*log10(Hc) 7. add to entropy and continue with 5 until a single value converges 5. get the frequency of each channel - add all the values of the bin 6. for each bin get a probability - if bin 1 = 20 bin 2 = 30 then frequency is 50 and probability is 20/50 and 30/50 then compute using shannon formula  REFERENCE: http://people.revoledu.com/kardi/tutorial/DecisionTree/how-to-measure-impurity.htm class atsHistogram { public:     cv::Mat DrawHistogram(Mat src)     {         /// Separate the image in 3 places ( R, G and B )    

Artificial Intelligence (K Nearest Neighbor) in OPENCV

In pattern recognition , the k -nearest neighbor algorithm ( k -NN) is a method for classifying objects based on closest training examples in the feature space . k -NN is a type of instance-based learning , or lazy learning where the function is only approximated locally and all computation is deferred until classification. The k -nearest neighbor algorithm is amongst the simplest of all machine learning algorithms: an object is classified by a majority vote of its neighbors, with the object being assigned to the class most common amongst its k nearest neighbors ( k is a positive integer , typically small). If k = 1, then the object is simply assigned to the class of its nearest neighbor. The k -NN algorithm can also be adapted for use in estimating continuous variables. One such implementation uses an inverse distance weighted average of the k -nearest multivariate neighbors. This algorithm functions as follows: Compute Euclidean or Mahalanobis distance from target plo

Blob Detection, Connected Component (Pure Opencv)

Connected-component labeling (alternatively connected-component analysis, blob extraction, region labeling, blob discovery, or region extraction) is an algorithmic application of graph theory, where subsets of connected components are uniquely labeled based on a given heuristic. Connected-component labeling is not to be confused with segmentation. i got the initial code from this URL: http://nghiaho.com/?p=1102 However the code did not compile with my setup of OpenCV 2.2, im guessing it was an older version. so a refactored and corrected the errors to come up with this Class class atsBlobFinder     {     public:         atsBlobFinder()         {         }         ///Original Code by http://nghiaho.com/?p=1102         ///Changed and added commments.
