LK光流跟踪特征点法

LK光流法基于已经提取出的特征点（第一帧），利用灰度不变假设，对特征点进行匹配，从而计算特征点在图像间的运动

实现代码如下： 

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <list>
#include <vector>
#include <chrono>
using namespace std; 

#include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <opencv2/features2d/features2d.hpp>
#include <opencv2/video/tracking.hpp>

int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
    if ( argc != 2 )
    {
        cout<<"usage: useLK path_to_dataset"<<endl;
        return 1;
    }
    string path_to_dataset = argv[1];
    string associate_file = path_to_dataset + "/associate.txt";
    
    ifstream fin( associate_file );
    if ( !fin ) 
    {
        cerr<<"I cann't find associate.txt!"<<endl;
        return 1;
    }
    
    string rgb_file, depth_file, time_rgb, time_depth;
    list< cv::Point2f > keypoints;      // 因为要删除跟踪失败的点，使用list
    cv::Mat color, depth, last_color;
    
    for ( int index=0; index<100; index++ )
    {
        fin>>time_rgb>>rgb_file>>time_depth>>depth_file;
        color = cv::imread( path_to_dataset+"/"+rgb_file );
        depth = cv::imread( path_to_dataset+"/"+depth_file, -1 );
        if (index ==0 )
        {
            // 对第一帧提取FAST特征点
            vector<cv::KeyPoint> kps;
            cv::Ptr<cv::FastFeatureDetector> detector = cv::FastFeatureDetector::create();
            detector->detect( color, kps );
            for ( auto kp:kps )
                keypoints.push_back( kp.pt );
            last_color = color;
            continue;
        }
        if ( color.data==nullptr || depth.data==nullptr )
            continue;
        // 对其他帧用LK跟踪特征点
        vector<cv::Point2f> next_keypoints; //保存LK光流法跟踪后的特征点状态
        vector<cv::Point2f> prev_keypoints;
        for ( auto kp:keypoints )
            prev_keypoints.push_back(kp);//将第一帧提出的特帧点保存到prev_keypoints中
        vector<unsigned char> status;
        vector<float> error; 
        chrono::steady_clock::time_point t1 = chrono::steady_clock::now();
        cv::calcOpticalFlowPyrLK( last_color, color, prev_keypoints, next_keypoints, status, error );
        chrono::steady_clock::time_point t2 = chrono::steady_clock::now();
        chrono::duration<double> time_used = chrono::duration_cast<chrono::duration<double>>( t2-t1 );
        cout<<"LK Flow use time:"<<time_used.count()<<" seconds."<<endl;
        // for(auto iter=next_keypoints.begin(); iter!=next_keypoints.end(); iter++)
        // cout<<*iter<<endl;
      
        // 把跟丢的点删掉
        int i=0; 
        for ( auto iter=keypoints.begin(); iter!=keypoints.end(); i++)
        {
            if ( status[i] == 0 )
            {
                iter = keypoints.erase(iter);
                continue;
            }
            *iter = next_keypoints[i];//keypoints保存next_keypoints的跟上的点
            iter++;
        }
        cout<<"tracked keypoints: "<<keypoints.size()<<endl;
        if (keypoints.size() == 0)
        {
            cout<<"all keypoints are lost."<<endl;
            break; 
        }
        // 画出 keypoints
        cv::Mat img_show = color.clone();
        for ( auto kp:keypoints )
            cv::circle(img_show, kp, 10, cv::Scalar(0, 240, 0), 1);
        cv::imshow("corners", img_show);
        cv::waitKey(0);
        last_color = color;
    }
    return 0;
}

直接法

直接法无需特征点（所有像素均可视为特征点），构建使光度误差最小化的目标函数直接调整相机位姿。需要注意的是当金字塔对图像进行缩放时，对应内参也要乘以相应的倍率。

实现代码如下：

#include <boost/format.hpp>

// baseline
double baseline = 0.573;
// paths
string left_file = "./left.png";
string disparity_file = "./disparity.png";
boost::format fmt_others("./%06d.png");    // other files

// useful typedefs
typedef Eigen::Matrix<double, 6, 6> Matrix6d;
typedef Eigen::Matrix<double, 2, 6> Matrix26d;
typedef Eigen::Matrix<double, 6, 1> Vector6d;

直接法的优缺点

优点：

• 无需特征点，有像素梯度即可
• 省去计算特征点和描述子的时间
• 可以构建稠密和半稠密地图

缺点：

• 非凸性。陷入局部最小值
• 单个像素没有区分度
• 灰度值不变是强假设
