patch_size (int, optional) – the input image patch size. Default: 19
eps (float, optional) – for safe division. Default: 1e-10

forward(patch)[source]#

Parameters: patch (Tensor) – (torch.Tensor) shape [Bx1xHxW]
Returns: ellipse_shape shape [Bx1x3]
Return type: torch.Tensor

class kornia.feature.LAFAffineShapeEstimator(patch_size=32, affine_shape_detector=None, preserve_orientation=True)[source]#

Module, which extracts patches using input images and local affine frames (LAFs).

Then runs PatchAffineShapeEstimator on patches to estimate LAFs shape.

Then original LAF shape is replaced with estimated one. The original LAF orientation is not preserved, so it is recommended to first run LAFAffineShapeEstimator and then LAFOrienter,

Parameters

patch_size (int, optional) – the input image patch size. Default: 32
affine_shape_detector (Optional[Module], optional) – Patch affine shape estimator, PatchAffineShapeEstimator. Default: None
preserve_orientation (bool, optional) – if True, the original orientation is preserved. Default: True

forward(laf, img)[source]#

Parameters

laf (Tensor) – (torch.Tensor) shape [BxNx2x3]
img (Tensor) – (torch.Tensor) shape [Bx1xHxW]

Returns

laf_out shape [BxNx2x3]

Return type

torch.Tensor

class kornia.feature.LAFOrienter(patch_size=32, num_angular_bins=36, angle_detector=None)[source]#

Module, which extracts patches using input images and local affine frames (LAFs).

Then runs PatchDominantGradientOrientation or OriNet on patches and then rotates the LAFs by the estimated angles

Parameters

patch_size (int, optional) – Default: 32
num_angular_bins (int, optional) – Default: 36
angle_detector (Optional[Module], optional) – Patch orientation estimator, e.g. PatchDominantGradientOrientation or OriNet. Default: None

forward(laf, img)[source]#

Parameters

laf (Tensor) – shape [BxNx2x3]
img (Tensor) – shape [Bx1xHxW]

Return type

Returns

laf_out, shape [BxNx2x3]

class kornia.feature.PatchDominantGradientOrientation(patch_size=32, num_angular_bins=36, eps=1e-08)[source]#

Module, which estimates the dominant gradient orientation of the given patches, in radians.

Zero angle points towards right.

Parameters

patch_size (int, optional) – size of the (square) input patch. Default: 32
num_angular_bins (int, optional) – number of histogram bins. Default: 36
eps (float, optional) – for safe division, and arctan. Default: 1e-08

forward(patch)[source]#

Parameters: patch (Tensor) – shape [Bx1xHxW]
Returns: angle shape [B]
Return type: torch.Tensor

class kornia.feature.OriNet(pretrained=False, eps=1e-08)[source]#

Network, which estimates the canonical orientation of the given 32x32 patches, in radians.

Zero angle points towards right. This is based on the original code from paper “Repeatability Is Not Enough: Learning Discriminative Affine Regions via Discriminability””. See [MRM18] for more details.

Parameters

pretrained (bool, optional) – Download and set pretrained weights to the model. Default: False
eps (float, optional) – to avoid division by zero in atan2. Default: 1e-08

Returns

Angle in radians.

Shape:

Input: (B, 1, 32, 32)
Output: (B)

Examples

>>> input = torch.rand(16, 1, 32, 32)
>>> orinet = OriNet()
>>> angle = orinet(input) # 16

forward(patch)[source]#

Parameters: patch (Tensor) – (torch.Tensor) shape [Bx1xHxW]
Returns: (torch.Tensor) shape [B]
Return type: patch

class kornia.feature.LAFAffNetShapeEstimator(pretrained=False, preserve_orientation=True)[source]#

Module, which extracts patches using input images and local affine frames (LAFs).

Then runs AffNet on patches to estimate LAFs shape. This is based on the original code from paper “Repeatability Is Not Enough: Learning Discriminative Affine Regions via Discriminability””. See [MRM18] for more details.

Then original LAF shape is replaced with estimated one. The original LAF orientation is not preserved, so it is recommended to first run LAFAffineShapeEstimator and then LAFOrienter.

Parameters: pretrained (bool, optional) – Download and set pretrained weights to the model. Default: False

Parameters

laf (Tensor) – shape [BxNx2x3]
img (Tensor) – shape [Bx1xHxW]

Return type
