Preprocess images before feature detection?

Hi! My goal is to find known logos in static image and videos. I want to achieve that by using feature detecton with KAZE or AKAZE and RanSac.

I am aiming for a similar result to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzrqHqB-dLM

While experimenting with the detection example from the docs which is great btw, i was facing several issues:

  • Object resolution: Differences in size between the known object and the resolution of the scene where the object should be located sometimes breaks the detection algorithm - the object won't be recognized in images with a low resolution although the image quality is still allright for a human eye.
  • Color contrast with the background: It seems, that the detection can easily be distracted by different background contrasts (eg: object is logo black on white background, logo in scene is white on black background). How can I make the detection more robust against different luminations and background contrasts?
  • Preprocessing: Should there be done any kind of preprocessing of the object / scene? For example enlarge the scene up to a specific size?

Is there any guideline how to approach the feature detection in several steps to get the best results?

Thanks a lot for your help! best, Manu
