    <p>I am trying to implement a program which will input two images one is an image of a box alone and one which includes the box in the scene. Basically, the program is supposed to find keypoints in these two images and will show the images with keypoints matched. That is in the end I expect to see an appended image of two input images together with their matched keypoints connected. My code is as follows:</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;opencv2\opencv.hpp&gt; #include &lt;iostream&gt; int main(int argc, const char* argv[]) { cv::Mat input1 = cv::imread("input.jpg", 1); //Load as grayscale //cv::cvtColor(input1,input1,CV_BGR2GRAY); //second input load as grayscale cv::Mat input2 = cv::imread("input2.jpg",1); cv::SiftFeatureDetector detector; //cv::SiftFeatureDetector detector( 1, 1, cv::SIFT::CommonParams::DEFAULT_NOCTAVES, cv::SIFT::CommonParams::DEFAULT_NOCTAVE_LAYERS, cv::SIFT::CommonParams::DEFAULT_FIRST_OCTAVE, cv::SIFT::CommonParams::FIRST_ANGLE ); std::vector&lt;cv::KeyPoint&gt; keypoints1; detector.detect(input1, keypoints1); // Add results to image and save. cv::Mat output1; cv::drawKeypoints(input1, keypoints1, output1); cv::imshow("Sift_result1.jpg", output1); cv::imwrite("Sift_result1.jpg",output1); //keypoints array for input 2 std::vector&lt;cv::KeyPoint&gt; keypoints2; //output array for ouput 2 cv::Mat output2; //Sift extractor of opencv cv::SiftDescriptorExtractor extractor; cv::Mat descriptors1,descriptors2; cv::BruteForceMatcher&lt;cv::L2&lt;float&gt;&gt; matcher; cv::vector&lt;cv::DMatch&gt; matches; cv::Mat img_matches; detector.detect(input2,keypoints2); cv::drawKeypoints(input2,keypoints2,output2); cv::imshow("Sift_result2.jpg",output2); cv::imwrite("Sift_result2.jpg",output2); extractor.compute(input1,keypoints1,descriptors1); extractor.compute(input2,keypoints2,descriptors2); matcher.match(descriptors1,descriptors2,matches); //show result cv::drawMatches(input1,keypoints1,input2,keypoints2,matches,img_matches); cv::imshow("matches",img_matches); cv::imwrite("matches.jpg",img_matches); cv::waitKey(); return 0; } </code></pre> <p>The problem is there are two many many matches than expected. I tried to debug the program and looked what is inside the keypoints vectors and so on, everything looks to be fine, at least I think they are, the keypoints are detected with orientation etc. </p> <p>I am using OpenCV v2.3 and checked its documentation for the types of classes I am using and tried to solve the problem but that did not work. I am working on this for a 3 days did not make much of an improvement. </p> <p>Here is an output i get from my program. </p> <p><em>I should have remove the image.</em></p> <p>I know that should not give me too much matches, because I have tested the exact same images with another implemenation in matlab that was quite good. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
