2013-10-29 21:56:17 -0600 | commented answer | Logo detection / identification on TV screens Thank you, I see LBP is for "cascade classifier", which requires a training stage, and that takes much time. I'm currently focusing on object detect techniques (like SURF), but I'm still doubting that the logos are too small to provide sufficient keypoints to justify a positive match (although the screen captures are 720p or even 1080p, but they're scaled up from PAL/NTSC pictures, i.e., 576p or 480p). Anyway I'm trying with additional optimizations you guys have mentioned like cross-check, ratio-check to refine the matching. @GilLevi thanks again for your fast reply and the clarification on "ratio check". |
2013-10-28 02:52:58 -0600 | answered a question | Logo detection / identification on TV screens Hi all, This is not the answer, I'm using this as my feedback and update to my previous try since the "comment" function cannot accommodate so much text. As described above, feature2d experiment gave wrong result, I think the TV channel logo is too small to be detected by feature2d algorithms, so I resort to template matching. First I assume the logo position is fixed, so the exact logo region is cropped out and matched agains a prepared template, this can output promising identification. But the logo position turns out to be NOT fixed, i.e., there is some shift. I have to match the template against a larger area, and this does not guarantee correct result. Now I come back to this question, and have to consider the feature2d algorithms again, as this feature2d technique seems a more natural solution for my problem. @GilLevi & @Guanta: Thank you for the suggestions. I have not came across the "LBP" word as I dig through the opencv docs, can you point me to a link, something like the opencv tutorials would be great. And for other terms, " Thank you again for your time and help. |

2013-07-31 20:33:50 -0600 | commented answer | Logo detection / identification on TV screens For the template matching method, the normalized "result matrix" is all values between 0 ~ 1, the "min" or "max" point is selected as the "match", whatever the template is, so I don't know how to find out a "negative" result. Can you provide some hints on this? And thanks a lot for all above input. I will try your suggestions and update back. |

2013-07-31 05:56:39 -0600 | asked a question | Logo detection / identification on TV screens Hi, I want to do "TV channel" detection by identifying the "channel logo". Suppose I need to identify two channels: A and B. I grab some sample screenshots, and find out the region of these logos in their respective screenshots as ROI_A and ROI_B. I'm trying with opencv's feature2d framework (SurfFeatureDetector/SurfDescriptorExtractor and FlannBasedMatcher, but the result is not working (details follow). Now the detection task is performed as:
So my questions are:
I'm expecting to identify about 70 channels, but currently with two sample channels, the result is misleading most time. Any help is appreciated and thanks for your time. Test result picture: |
