Detailed Description

This is a base class for all more or less complex algorithms in OpenCV.

especially for classes of algorithms, for which there can be multiple implementations. The examples are stereo correspondence (for which there are algorithms like block matching, semi-global block matching, graph-cut etc.), background subtraction (which can be done using mixture-of-gaussians models, codebook-based algorithm etc.), optical flow (block matching, Lucas-Kanade, Horn-Schunck etc.).

Here is example of SimpleBlobDetector use in your application via Algorithm interface:

Member Function Documentation

clear()

virtual CV_WRAP void cv::Algorithm::clear ( )

inlinevirtual

Clears the algorithm state.

Reimplemented in cv::DescriptorMatcher.

empty()

virtual CV_WRAP bool cv::Algorithm::empty ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns true if the Algorithm is empty (e.g. in the very beginning or after unsuccessful read.

Reimplemented in cv::BaseCascadeClassifier, cv::DescriptorMatcher, and cv::Feature2D.

getDefaultName()

virtual CV_WRAP String cv::Algorithm::getDefaultName ( ) const

virtual

Returns the algorithm string identifier. This string is used as top level xml/yml node tag when the object is saved to a file or string.

Reimplemented in cv::AKAZE, cv::KAZE, cv::SimpleBlobDetector, cv::GFTTDetector, cv::AgastFeatureDetector, cv::FastFeatureDetector, cv::MSER, cv::ORB, cv::BRISK, cv::SIFT, cv::AffineFeature, and cv::Feature2D.

load()

template<typename _Tp >

static Ptr<_Tp> cv::Algorithm::load ( const String &  filename, const String &  objname = String()  )

inlinestatic

Loads algorithm from the file.

Parameters

filename	Name of the file to read.
objname	The optional name of the node to read (if empty, the first top-level node will be used)

This is static template method of Algorithm. It's usage is following (in the case of SVM):

Ptr<SVM> svm = Algorithm::load<SVM>("my_svm_model.xml");

In order to make this method work, the derived class must overwrite Algorithm::read(const FileNode& fn).

loadFromString()

template<typename _Tp >

static Ptr<_Tp> cv::Algorithm::loadFromString ( const String &  strModel, const String &  objname = String()  )

inlinestatic

Loads algorithm from a String.

Parameters

strModel	The string variable containing the model you want to load.
objname	The optional name of the node to read (if empty, the first top-level node will be used)

This is static template method of Algorithm. It's usage is following (in the case of SVM):

Ptr<SVM> svm = Algorithm::loadFromString<SVM>(myStringModel);

read() [1/2]

virtual CV_WRAP void cv::Algorithm::read ( const FileNode &  fn )

inlinevirtual

Reads algorithm parameters from a file storage.

Reimplemented in cv::aruco::ArucoDetector, cv::DescriptorMatcher, and cv::Feature2D.

read() [2/2]

template<typename _Tp >

static Ptr<_Tp> cv::Algorithm::read ( const FileNode &  fn )

inlinestatic

Reads algorithm from the file node.

This is static template method of Algorithm. It's usage is following (in the case of SVM):

cv::FileStorage fsRead("example.xml", FileStorage::READ);
Ptr<SVM> svm = Algorithm::read<SVM>(fsRead.root());

In order to make this method work, the derived class must overwrite Algorithm::read(const FileNode& fn) and also have static create() method without parameters (or with all the optional parameters)

save()

virtual CV_WRAP void cv::Algorithm::save ( const String &  filename ) const

virtual

Saves the algorithm to a file. In order to make this method work, the derived class must implement Algorithm::write(FileStorage& fs).

write() [1/3]

void cv::Algorithm::write	(	const Ptr< FileStorage > &	fs,
		const String &	name = String()
	)		const

Deprecated:

write() [2/3]

virtual CV_WRAP void cv::Algorithm::write ( FileStorage &  fs ) const

inlinevirtual

Stores algorithm parameters in a file storage.

Reimplemented in cv::aruco::ArucoDetector, cv::DescriptorMatcher, and cv::Feature2D.

write() [3/3]

CV_WRAP void cv::Algorithm::write	(	FileStorage &	fs,
		const String &	name
	)		const

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

writeFormat()

void cv::Algorithm::writeFormat ( FileStorage &  fs ) const
