Thanks for the responses.
cartToPolar only calculates the angle to an accuracy of 0.3 degrees, which is no good for me.
However, I solved this by implementing my own atan2(x,y) [note the switched function signature!] function using OpenCL accelerated OpenCV. There are one or two unnecessary copies so it needs some tidying, but its fast and produces the same result as std::atan2. It also risks divide-by-zero so I need to implement a mask to prevent this (unless there is some sort of default protection against div 0 in OpenCV divide()?Its based on the reference implementation of nVidia code from https://developer.download.nvidia.com... but I'm still curious to know if there is a cleaner way to just do this using the native OpenCL atan2(y,x)(https://www.khronos.org/registry/Open...)
and feeding in the handle to the UMats?
Anyway, here is my messy, but working, solution:
void gpu_atan2(UMat& x_in, UMat& y_in, UMat& mask, UMat& t3)
{
// Calculate a good approximation of atan2 on the gpu using openCV UMats
// Formula adapted from (https://developer.download.nvidia.com/cg/atan2.html)
// This seems to be accurate (compared to atan2 CPU) to about 0.0002 degrees
UMat t0, t1, t2,t3_mul, t4, t3_abs, t1_abs;
absdiff(x_in, (float)0.0, t3_abs); /* A trick to get abs(x_in) */
absdiff(y_in,(float)0.0, t1_abs); /* A trick to get abs(y_in) */
max(t3_abs, t1_abs, t0);
// We have to divide by t0 to calculate t3
// Lets create a t0 mask that masks out any zero values
UMat t0_mask(t0.size(), CV_8UC1, cv::Scalar(0));
compare(t0, (float)0.0, t0_mask, cv::CMP_NE); /* Sets anything not equal to zero to 255 */
// TODO - use this mask....
min(t3_abs, t1_abs, t1);
divide((float)1.0, t0, t3);
multiply(t1, t3, t3_mul);
cv::pow(t3_mul, 2, t4);
//multiply(t3_mul, t3_mul, t4);
t0.setTo((float)-0.013480470);
UMat t0_mul(t0.size(), t0.type());
multiply(t0, t4, t0_mul);
add(t0_mul, (float)0.057477314, t0);
multiply(t0, t4, t0_mul);
subtract(t0_mul, (float)0.121239071, t0);
multiply(t0, t4, t0_mul);
add(t0_mul, (float)0.195635925, t0);
multiply(t0, t4, t0_mul);
subtract(t0_mul, (float)0.332994597, t0);
multiply(t0, t4, t0_mul);
add(t0_mul, (float)0.999995630, t0);
multiply(t0, t3_mul, t3);
UMat t1_gt_t3(t1_abs.size(), CV_8UC1, cv::Scalar(0));
compare(t1_abs, t3_abs, t1_gt_t3, cv::CMP_GT);
UMat sub1;
subtract(Scalar((float)1.570796327), t3, sub1);
//subtract(Scalar((float)1.570796327), t3, t3_mul, t1_gt_t3);
sub1.copyTo(t3, t1_gt_t3);
UMat x_in_lt_zero(x_in.size(), CV_8UC1, cv::Scalar(0));
compare(x_in, Scalar(0.0), x_in_lt_zero, cv::CMP_LT);
subtract(Scalar((float)3.141592654), t3, sub1);
//subtract(Scalar((float)3.141592654), t3_mul, t3, x_in_lt_zero);
sub1.copyTo(t3, x_in_lt_zero);
UMat y_in_lt_zero(y_in.size(), CV_8UC1, cv::Scalar(0));
compare(y_in, Scalar((float)0.0), y_in_lt_zero, cv::CMP_LT);
UMat t3_all_negated(y_in.size(), y_in.type());
multiply(t3,Scalar((float)-1.0), t3_all_negated); /* Annoyingly we cannot use a mask with multiply in OpenCV */
t3_all_negated.copyTo(t3, y_in_lt_zero);
}
where did you find this ? (i don't think such a thing exists)
you should not use pointers at all here
Use OpenGL, it's more than capable.
