Create contour from corner points

Hi,

I would like to check, if a given point is inside or outside of a given shape. I have already found the pointPolygonTest() function for this purpose. But my problem is, that I only have the corners of the shape, and I know that the edges are straight. Is there a way to create contours[] straight form the corner points? The only solution I found is to render (write into Mat) the edges and detect the shape to get the contours. But I actually dont need the rendered shape, I only want to perform this test. So I would like to skip this step if possible...

Thank you for any answers! Mary-Ann

try :

Point p1(10,10),p4(10,100), p3(100,100), p2(100,10) ;
    vector<Point> ctr;

ctr.push_back(p1);
ctr.push_back(p4);
ctr.push_back(p3);
ctr.push_back(p2);
double inside;
inside = pointPolygonTest(ctr, Point2f(254, 30.1), false);
if (inside < 0)
    cout << "Outside\n";
else if (inside > 0)
    cout << "inside\n";
else
    cout << "contour points\n";
inside= pointPolygonTest(ctr, Point2f(50, 50), false);
if (inside < 0)
    cout << "Outside\n";
else if (inside > 0)
    cout << "inside\n";
else
    cout << "contour points\n";
inside = pointPolygonTest(ctr, Point2f(10, 50), false);
if (inside < 0)
    cout << "Outside\n";
else if (inside > 0)
    cout << "inside\n";
else
    cout << "contour points\n";

Results :

Outside

inside

contour points

Hi! I thought that neighboring elements of the contour vector need to be connected pixels on the image (just like this answer says: http://answers.opencv.org/question/18...). But I will try if it works only using the corners! Thank you!

Right, only the corners are enough for the algorithm. You dont need every single contour point. But if somebody needs it LineIterator does the job!
