Thanks! I casted it to Mat and then used Andreys answer to convert it to a vector of keypoints.

I'm currently struggling with the Java Native Interface for Eclipse.

What I have:

With OpenCV, I detected keypoints of a frame and got back an object of type MatOfKeyPoint. (image is of type Mat)

private MatOfKeyPoint mKeypoints;
private FeatureDetector mDetector;
//(...)
mDetector = FeatureDetector.create(FeatureDetector.FAST);
mDetector.detect(image, mKeypoints);

What I want:

My mKeypoints is now of type MatOfKeyPoint. I want to pass this object to native code so I can do calculations faster. After my calculation, the native method should save its results in an object of type MatOfPoint2f

How I tried to do it:

I wrote a method

private native void getSkylinePoints(long addrMatOfKeyPoint, long addrOutputMat);

and used it like this:

getSkylinePoints(mKeypoints.getNativeObjAddr(), 
    mSkylinePoints.getNativeObjAddr());

(mSkylinePoints is of type MatOfPoint2f and is not null)

My c++ code then looks like this:

JNIEXPORT void JNICALL  
Java_ch_ethz_arskyline_detection_FASTDetector_getSkylinePoints(JNIEnv*, 
    jobject, jlong addrMatOfKeyPoint, jlong addrOutputMat)
{
    vector<KeyPoint>& keypoints  = *(vector<KeyPoint>*)addrMatOfKeyPoint;
    vector<Point2f>& output  = *(vector<Point2f>*)addrOutputMat;

        // without this line, it works
    if (!keypoints.empty())
        output.push_back (keypoints[0].pt);

}

I know that vector< KeyPoint> in c++ corresponds to MatOfKeyPoint in Java and vector< Point2f> in c++ corresponds to MatOfPoint2f in Java. I also wrote native functions that pass an object of type Mat (Mat in Java and Mat in c++) and there it works.

The error I get:

Debugging c++ code in eclipse is hard. All the LogCat tells me is:

Tag: libc   Text: fatal signal 6 (SIGABRT) at 0x000358a (code=-6), thread 13757 (Thread-5023)

I think that you can't just do this

vector<KeyPoint>& keypoints  = *(vector<KeyPoint>*)addrMatOfKeyPoint;

as I did with Mat objects:

Mat& background  = *(Mat*)addrBackground;

Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance for any help!

Hey all,

I downloaded the samples from OpenCV for Android and let them run in eclipse on a real device (Nexus 7). They all work fine, but when I'm looking at the LogCat log, I see ca 20 errors displayed for each frame. The log is filled with them. Although all the samples work, this irritates me and makes it hard to debug the code.

Here a screenshot of the log:

Does anyone know where these errors come from and what they mean? Should I worry about them, if no: can I somehow hide them? if yes: what to do?

Another question: I get, when running the JavaCameraView idle (Sample CameraPreview) only 15fps max. This is few, isn't it? Or is this always like this when using OpenCV with Java (over JNI) instead of c++?

Thanks in advance for any hints! Isa

Hey all

I'm currently facing the following problem:

given: two curves, both approximated by sample points. One of them is slightly bigger than the other, in my case, the small curve has 20 sample points and the large one 25. They are not uniformly distributed, but the sample points are in a certain range (-> point x1 in range 0-9, point x2 in range 10-19 etc)

what I need: The best match between the two curves under the assumption that the small curve is a subset of the bigger curve.

I thought about a sliding-window algorithm, but I don't know how to make it rotation invariant. I need only translation and rotation, no scaling.

I already tried

estimateRigidTransform(Mat pointSetA, Mat pointSetB, bool fullAffine)

but this works only with point sets that are of equal size and the pairs of points must be corresponding (x1 with y1, x2 with y2, etc).

findHomography()

is no option, because it also calculates the perspective transform which I don't need.

Here is an image for clarification:

(The image is only a sample, I didn't count the points..)

Does anyone know an elegant algorithm for this? Or any ideas how to write my own?

Thanks in advance for any help! Isa

I see, thats even better. But I thought, estimateRigidTransform doesn't use RANSAC?

Hey all,

I'm trying to use estimateRigidTransform in my program to find the best transformation matrix between two point sets using only translation, rotation & uniform scaling.

My two point sets are of type

MatOfPoint2f mPointSetA;
MatOfPoint2f mPointSetB;

and are both of size 20. (They do have 20 rows) For those who wonder, I get them like this:

LinkedList<Point> listOfPointsA;
// fill list with points...

mPointSetA.fromList(ListOfPointsA);

Now I'm calling:

Mat R = Video.estimateRigidTransform(mPointSetA, mPointSetB, false);

But the R that I get is of size 0x0! Could anybody tell me what I'm missing here?

Thanks in advance for any help! Isa
