c++ - 计算定向梯度的直方图

Question

为了理解 Dalal 和 Triggs 提出的定向梯度直方图 (HOG) 特征，我选择了在不使用 openCV 的 HOGDescriptor 的情况下对其进行硬编码。这是我尝试实现 HOG 的一些相关代码:

void hog::hog_process(Mat &direction) // direction is the gradient direction matrix
{

  Size blockSize(8,8);
  Size cellSize(4,4);

  vector<Mat> block;
  Size s =  direction.size();
  Mat cell_eightPx;
  Mat cell_fourPx;

// Essentially split the image into 8 by 8 cells. HOG processing of each block should be essiantially here.
// the 8 by 8 cells are then split again into 4 by 4 cells
   for(int col = 0; col < direction.rows; col += blockSize.height)
    {
        for(int row = 0; row < direction.cols; row += blockSize.width)
        {
            Rect rect= Rect(row, col,blockSize.width,blockSize.height);

            cell_eightPx = Mat(direction,rect); // Get a 8 by 8 cell from the gradient direction matrix.

            //**********COMPUTE 9 bin gradient direction histogram of the 8 by 8 cell here !!! ****
            for(int i = 0; i < cell_eightPx.rows; i += cellSize.height)
            {
                for(int j  = 0; j < cell_eightPx.cols; j += cellSize.width)
                {
                    Rect rect_fourPx = Rect(i,j,cellSize.width,cellSize.height); // 4 by 4 rectangle size
                    cell_fourPx = Mat(cell_eightPx,rect_fourPx); // create a 4 by 4 cell from gradient direction matrix (cell_eightPx)
                    gradientHist(cell_fourPx); // Calculate gradient histogram of the 4 by 4 cell. (Function call)
                    cell_fourPx.deallocate(); // clear the cell.
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

这是计算 HOG 特征的 9 bin 直方图的函数 gradientHist():

void hog::gradientHist(Mat &cell_fourPx)
{
    Mat hist;
    ofstream feature("Hist_Values.csv",std::ofstream::app);

    // create a 9 bin histogram with range from 0 t0 180 for HOG descriptors.
    int histSize = 9;
    float range[] = {0,180};
    const float *histRange = {range};
    bool uniform = true;
    bool accumulate = false;

    calcHist(&cell_fourPx, 1, 0,Mat(),hist, 1, &histSize, &histRange, uniform, accumulate); //Calculate the 9 bin histogram.

    normalize(hist, hist, 0, 0, NORM_MINMAX, -1, Mat());


    for(int i = 0; i < histSize; i++)
    {
       feature << hist.at<float>(i) << ","; // Output the value of HOG to a csv file             
    } 
}

但是，OpenCV 告诉我:

unsupported format or combination of formats () in calcHist, file....line 1219....histogram.cpp:1219:
error(-210) in function calcHist

也许我忽略了什么？任何建议/想法将不胜感激。提前致谢...

cv::calcHist(...) 调用中的第三个参数 channels 不应为 0(这使其成为空指针)。OpenCV 在这里需要一个指向描述感兴趣 channel 的索引数组的指针。

由于您要使用第一个 channel (索引 0)，您的代码应如下所示:

int channels[] = { 0 };
calcHist(&cell_fourPx, 1, channels, ...);
