Extract_patches¶

Simple function for local patch extraction from local features keypoints

Install¶

pip install extract_patches

How to use¶

extract_patches accepts following formats:

  • OpenCV keypoints
  • Ellipse format [x y a b c], see further in Oxford-Affine
  • Affine features format [x y a11 a12 a21 a22], see further here
  • OpenCV keypoints + A (a11 a12 a21, a22), say from AffNet output

First, let's delect some local features, e.g. OpenCV ORB.

In [ ]:
%matplotlib inline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import cv2
import math
import seaborn as sns
from time import time
from PIL import Image
from extract_patches.core import extract_patches

img1 = cv2.cvtColor(cv2.imread('data/img/prague.png'), cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

det = cv2.ORB_create(500)
kps1, descs1 = det.detectAndCompute(img1,None)

vis_img1 = None
vis_img1 = cv2.drawKeypoints(cv2.cvtColor(img1,cv2.COLOR_RGB2GRAY),kps1,vis_img1, 
                             flags=cv2.DRAW_MATCHES_FLAGS_DRAW_RICH_KEYPOINTS)
plt.imshow(vis_img1)

extract_patches performs extraction from the appropriate level of image pyramid, removing high freq artifacts. Border mode is set to "replicate", so the patch don't have crazy black borders.

PATCH_SIZE is output patch size.

mrSize is a scale coefficient, related to the image area covered in the original image by local feature. There are different conventions (if any common), e.g. for ORB is mrSize is recommend to set to 1.0, as kpt.size already contains correct number. For the OpenCV SIFT, on the other hand, one should use mrSize=6.0

In [ ]:
PATCH_SIZE = 65
mrSize = 1.0
t=time()
patches = extract_patches(kps1, img1, PATCH_SIZE, mrSize, 'cv2')
print ('pyr OpenCV version for 500 kps, [s]', time()-t)

show_idx = 300
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(12, 20))
for i in range(1,6):
    fig.add_subplot(1, 5, i) 
    plt.imshow(patches[show_idx+i])

Now try with ellipse (x y a b c) format. Let's download Hessian-Affine from VGG website and detect local features with it

In [ ]:

Now read extracted local features from txt file

In [ ]:
from extract_patches.laf import visualize_LAFs, ells2LAFs
ells = np.loadtxt('prague.hesaff', skiprows=2).astype(np.float32)
print (f"Shape is {ells.shape}")
print (ells[0:5])

Now visualize detected features

from extract_patches.laf import visualize_LAFs, ells2LAFs
visualize_LAFs(img1, ells2LAFs(ells))

And visualize some patches

    plt.imshow(patches_ells[show_idx+i])

Let's try now MSER detector, which could output local features in affine format

#And lets try x y a11 a12 a21 a22 format. MSER can output in it
