opencv Keypoint

 The Keypoint Class

 The class instance stores a keypoint, i.e. a point feature found by one of many available keypoint detectors,

such as

 Harris corner detector,

cv::FAST,

cv::StarDetector,

cv::SURF,

cv::SIFT,

cv::LDetector etc.

 

 The keypoint is characterized by

the 2D position,

 scale ----------- (proportional(百分比) to the diameter(直径) of the neighborhood that needs to be taken into account),

 orientation and some other parameters.

 

The keypoint neighborhood is then analyzed by another algorithm that builds a descriptor---------- (usually represented as a feature vector).

 

The keypoints representing the same object in different images can then be matched using cv::KDTree or another method.

 

说白了：

1 Keypoint是opencv中的一个类，就是一个关键点，这个关键点存放了很多信息，同时也说明：想获得一个关键点，需要很多信息来初始化它，很重要的一个思想就是：临近像素的考虑。

2 很多函数可以返回Keypoint，同时也有很多函数需要它作为参数。
