Hello,

i want to extract similar image from vocabulary that was created in above code.this code run successfully creating two descriptors file.My question is that I don't understand that file "descriptr.yml" contains extracted features of query image or matched features of query image with vocabulary. Please help

my code is...

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <opencv/cv.h>
#include <opencv/highgui.h>
#include <opencv2/nonfree/features2d.hpp>

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;

#define DICTIONARY_BUILD 0 // set DICTIONARY_BUILD 1 to do Step 1, otherwise it goes to step 2

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{   
int minHessian = 400; //Hessian Threshold
#if DICTIONARY_BUILD == 1

    //Step 1 - Obtain the set of bags of features.

    //to store the input file names
char  filename[100]={};     
    //to store the current input image
    Mat input;  

    //To store the keypoints that will be extracted by SURF
    vector<KeyPoint> keypoints;
    //To store the SURF descriptor of current image
    Mat descriptor;
    //To store all the descriptors that are extracted from all the images.
    Mat featuresUnclustered;
    //The SURF feature extractor and descriptor 
    SurfDescriptorExtractor detector(minHessian,4,2,false);     

    //I select 20 (1000/50) images from 1000 images to extract feature descriptors and build the vocabulary
    for(int f=1;f<25;f++){      
        //create the file name of an image
        sprintf(filename,"C:\\harshada\\OpenCV BoFSURF\\Release\\image\\%i.jpg",f);
        //open the file
        input = imread(filename, CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE); //Load as grayscale  
    //Mat img =cv::imread("C:\\harshada\\OpenCV BoFSURF\\Release\\image\\22.jpg");

    }

        detector.detect(input, keypoints);
