How to copy std::vector<uint32_t> to pre-formatted Mat!?

Hi Everyone,

I'm working on combining two different pieces of code for a ORB Slam project and am trying to figure out how to re-format the 'descriptors'.

The FROM data is this,

std::vector<uint32_t> descriptors;

(I'm then adding to this)

The TO format is this,

_descriptors.create(descriptors.size(), 32, CV_8U);

How can I copy this for best performance?

Cheers Fred

opencv does not support uint32_t for Mat

what exactly is inside your std::vector<uint32_t> ?

please explain in more detail, how you obtain that data

I don't really follow what the first code does in its inner loop, its optimized code for Neon but should be compatible with ORB SLAM2 as that was the purpose of that project. Here is a description in the code + the function definition of the top level descriptor generation:

/// Compute ORB descriptions from keypoints. Set words to the number

/// of 32bit words the brief description should output, up to

/// 8 for a 256 bit descriptor. Descriptors are appended to the back of

/// descriptors.

void orbCompute(uint8_t img[][vstep], const std::vector<uint32_t> &points,
    std::vector<uint32_t> &descriptors) {

Sorry I missed the template part,

template <int vstep, int words>
void orbCompute(uint8_t img[][vstep], const std::vector<uint32_t> &points,
    std::vector<uint32_t> &descriptors)

This is an actual call in the demo code:

pislam::orbCompute<IMG_W, 8>(img, points, descriptors);

so, since there will be several ORB descriptors in your vector, and each of them has 8 uint32_t items, descriptors.size() / 8 should be the correct count.

you could try:

std::vector<uint32_t> descriptors = ....
assert(descriptors.size()%8==0); // must be multiple of 8!
int count = descriptors.size() / 8;

Mat ocv_desc(count, 32, CV_8U, (uchar*)descriptors.data());

Thank you! I'm trying this now. So far no luck but it seems like this other function I'm using is not returning good data atm. I'm printing out the first 'descriptor' line from both the old and the new method and they are very different and only the old one works in context.
So I can't yet verify that this works but I'll be assuming it does until I can get some working result from the new function. Cheers!
