I'm looking to find which object from a large database of images (I'll precompute and store the feature descriptions) in a video feed in realtime. I see people pulling this off in C++, like the following video I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbYDjBa3Lyk
But my speeds in Python are way too high. I'm seeing 300-1k ms depending on the detection method with FLANN for __ONE__ object, trying all of the feature matching sample code that came with the OpenCV source. Is this just the way of things? Might I have done something wrong when compiling OpenCV?
Basically, are the speeds like in the video attainable in Python or do I need to go learn C++ to actually make my project work? Would love any ideas what I might be doing wrong if I am the problem. :)
