Description

The operator fast_match_mgfast_match_mgFastMatchMgFastMatchMgFastMatchMg like the operator fast_matchfast_matchFastMatchFastMatchFastMatch performs a matching of the template of TemplateIDTemplateIDTemplateIDTemplateIDtemplateID and ImageImageImageImageimage. In contrast to fast_matchfast_matchFastMatchFastMatchFastMatch, however, the search for good matches starts in scaled down images (pyramid). The number of levels of the pyramid will be determined by NumLevelNumLevelNumLevelNumLevelnumLevel. Hereby the value 1 indicates that no pyramid will be used. In this case the operator fast_match_mgfast_match_mgFastMatchMgFastMatchMgFastMatchMg is equivalent to the operator fast_matchfast_matchFastMatchFastMatchFastMatch. The value 2 triggers the search in the image with half the framesize. The search for all those points showing an error small enough in the scaled down image (error smaller than MaxErrorMaxErrorMaxErrorMaxErrormaxError) will be refined at the corresponding positions in the original image (ImageImageImageImageimage).

The runtime of matching dependends on the parameter MaxErrorMaxErrorMaxErrorMaxErrormaxError: the larger the value the longer is the processing time, because more points of the pattern have to be tested. If MaxErrorMaxErrorMaxErrorMaxErrormaxError is to low the pattern will not be found. The value has therefore to be optimized for every application.

NumLevelNumLevelNumLevelNumLevelnumLevel indicates the number of levels of the pyramid, including the original image. Optionally a second value can be given. This value specifies the number (0..n) of the lowest level which is used the matching. The region found up to this level will then be zoomed to the size of the original level. This can used to increase the runtime in the case that the accuracy does not have to be so high.

Input image inside of which the pattern has to be found.

MatchesMatchesMatchesMatchesmatches (output_object)  region(-array) objectHRegionHRegionHobject *

All points which have an error below a certain threshold.

TemplateIDTemplateIDTemplateIDTemplateIDtemplateID (input_control)  template HTemplate, HTupleHTupleHtuple (handle) (IntPtr) (HHandle) (handle)

Template number.

MaxErrorMaxErrorMaxErrorMaxErrormaxError (input_control)  real HTupleHTupleHtuple (real) (double) (double) (double)

Maximal average difference of the grayvalues.

Default value: 30.0

Suggested values: 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 9.0, 11.0, 15.0, 17.0, 20.0, 30.0, 40.0, 50.0, 60.0, 70.0

Typical range of values: 0 ≤ MaxError MaxError MaxError MaxError maxError ≤ 255

Minimum increment: 1

Recommended increment: 3

NumLevelNumLevelNumLevelNumLevelnumLevel (input_control)  integer(-array) HTupleHTupleHtuple (integer) (int / long) (Hlong) (Hlong)

Result

If the parameter values are correct, the operator fast_match_mgfast_match_mgFastMatchMgFastMatchMgFastMatchMg returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE). If the input is empty (no input images are available) the behaviour can be set via set_system('no_object_result',<Result>)set_system("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>). If necessary, an exception is raised.
