Member Function Documentation

static Ptr<SIFT> cv::xfeatures2d::SIFT::create	(	int	nfeatures = `0`,
		int	nOctaveLayers = `3`,
		double	contrastThreshold = `0.04`,
		double	edgeThreshold = `10`,
		double	sigma = `1.6`
	)

static

Python:
	retval	=	cv.xfeatures2d.SIFT_create(	[, nfeatures[, nOctaveLayers[, contrastThreshold[, edgeThreshold[, sigma]]]]]	)

Parameters

nfeatures	The number of best features to retain. The features are ranked by their scores (measured in SIFT algorithm as the local contrast)
nOctaveLayers	The number of layers in each octave. 3 is the value used in D. Lowe paper. The number of octaves is computed automatically from the image resolution.
contrastThreshold	The contrast threshold used to filter out weak features in semi-uniform (low-contrast) regions. The larger the threshold, the less features are produced by the detector.
edgeThreshold	The threshold used to filter out edge-like features. Note that the its meaning is different from the contrastThreshold, i.e. the larger the edgeThreshold, the less features are filtered out (more features are retained).
sigma	The sigma of the Gaussian applied to the input image at the octave #0. If your image is captured with a weak camera with soft lenses, you might want to reduce the number.
