Description

The operator exhaustive_matchexhaustive_matchExhaustiveMatchExhaustiveMatchExhaustiveMatchexhaustive_match matches ImageTemplateImageTemplateImageTemplateImageTemplateimageTemplateimage_template and ImageImageImageImageimageimage within the region of interest RegionOfInterestRegionOfInterestRegionOfInterestRegionOfInterestregionOfInterestregion_of_interest. Hereby the ImageTemplateImageTemplateImageTemplateImageTemplateimageTemplateimage_template will be moved over all points of ImageImageImageImageimageimage which lie within the RegionOfInterestRegionOfInterestRegionOfInterestRegionOfInterestregionOfInterestregion_of_interest. With regard to the parameter ModeModeModeModemodemode, a matching criterion will be calculated. The result values will be stored in ImageMatchImageMatchImageMatchImageMatchimageMatchimage_match.

The following matching criteria (ModeModeModeModemodemode) are available:

'norm_correlation'

whereby indicates the gray value in the -th column and -th row of the image . is the center of the region of ImageTemplateImageTemplateImageTemplateImageTemplateimageTemplateimage_template. and are chosen so that all points of the template will be reached, run across the RegionOfInterestRegionOfInterestRegionOfInterestRegionOfInterestregionOfInterestregion_of_interest. At the image frame only those parts of ImageTemplateImageTemplateImageTemplateImageTemplateimageTemplateimage_template will be considered which lie inside the image (i.e. and will be restricted correspondingly). Higher values returned in ImageMatchImageMatchImageMatchImageMatchimageMatchimage_match, represent better matches.

Range of values: [0 ... 255 (best fit)].

'dfd'

Calculating the average “displaced frame difference”: The terms are the same as in 'norm_correlation'"norm_correlation""norm_correlation""norm_correlation""norm_correlation""norm_correlation". means the area of the region . Lower values returned in ImageMatchImageMatchImageMatchImageMatchimageMatchimage_match, represent better matches.

Range of values: [0 (best fit) .. 255].

To calculate the normalized correlation as well as the “displaced frame difference” is (with regard to the area of ImageTemplateImageTemplateImageTemplateImageTemplateimageTemplateimage_template) very time consuming. Therefore it is important to restrict the input region (RegionOfInterestRegionOfInterestRegionOfInterestRegionOfInterestregionOfInterestregion_of_interest if possible, i.e. to apply the filter only in a very confined “region of interest”.

As far as quality is concerned, both modes return comparable results, whereby the mode 'dfd'"dfd""dfd""dfd""dfd""dfd" is faster by a factor of about 3.5.

Result

If the parameter values are correct, the operator exhaustive_matchexhaustive_matchExhaustiveMatchExhaustiveMatchExhaustiveMatchexhaustive_match returns the value TRUE. If the input is empty (no input images are available) the behavior 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>)set_system("no_object_result",<Result>). If necessary, an exception is raised.
