I am trying to use OpenCV for Android (OpenCV 2.4.3) I am writing a program to track keypoints. I am trying to use FeatureDetector to detect keypoints and then Video.calcOpticalFlowPyrLK to track them. The question that has me stumped is that the FeatureDetector function returns a MatOfKeyPoint while calcOpticalFlowPyrLK takes a MatOfPoint2f.

Here is my code so far:

//Feature detector for LKT flow estimation FeatureDetector cvFeatureDetector; //Vector of keypoints MatOfKeyPoint keypoints;

... ...

//intitialize detector cvFeatureDetector = FeatureDetector.create(FeatureDetector.GFTT);

keypoints = new MatOfKeyPoint();

... ...

//mPrevImgMat is a grayscale image - previous frame //mCurrentImgMat is a grayscale image - current frame

//Run feature detector in previous image cvFeatureDetector.detect(mPrevImgMat, keypoints);

MatOfPoint2f keypointsFound = new MatOfPoint2f(); MatOfByte keypointsStatus = new MatOfByte(); MatOfFloat err = new MatOfFloat(); Size winSize = new Size(25,25); int maxLevel = 3;

//Optical flow to find keypoints in current image Video.calcOpticalFlowPyrLK(mPrevImgMat, mCurrentImgMat, keypoints, keypointsFound, keypointsStatus, err, winSize, maxLevel);

//Obviously "keypoints" in the line above does not work. How does one covert //keypoints to MatOfPoint2f?

Things I have tried unsuccessfully so far: (1) keypoints.convertTo() (2) Creating a vector from keypoints and then trying to populate a vector of Point Vector pointList. Then typecast to MatOfPoint2f when calling flow funciton (MatOfPoint2f) pointList (3) Trying to populate a MatOfPoint2f from scratch. Cant figure out how to do this (4) Using fromArray method in MatOfPoint2f - Not sure what this method does. Documentation is blank for this method. Am I missing something obvious?
