Multi-scale feature detector, based on code from KeyNet. Can be used with any response function.

This is based on the original code from paper “Key.Net: Keypoint Detection by Handcrafted and Learned CNN Filters”. See [BLRPM19] for more details.

Parameters:

model (Module) – response function, such as KeyNet or BlobHessian
num_features (int, optional) – Number of features to detect. Default: 2048
conf – Dict with initiliazation parameters. Do not pass it, unless you know what you are doing`.
ori_module (Optional[Module], optional) – for local feature orientation estimation. Default: PassLAF, which does nothing. See LAFOrienter for details.
aff_module (Optional[Module], optional) – for local feature affine shape estimation. Default: PassLAF, which does nothing. See LAFAffineShapeEstimator for details.

forward(img, mask=None)[source]#

Three stage local feature detection. First the location and scale of interest points are determined by detect function. Then affine shape and orientation.

Parameters:: img (Tensor) – image to extract features with shape [1xCxHxW]. KeyNetDetector does not support batch processing,

because the number of detections is different on each image.

mask: a mask with weights where to apply the response function. The shape must be the same as: the input image.

Returns:: shape [1xNx2x3]. Detected local affine frames. responses: shape [1xNx1]. Response function values for corresponding lafs
Return type:: lafs

Module for differentiable local feature detection, as close as possible to classical local feature detectors like Harris, Hessian-Affine or SIFT (DoG).

It has 5 modules inside: scale pyramid generator, response (“cornerness”) function, soft nms function, affine shape estimator and patch orientation estimator. Each of those modules could be replaced with learned custom one, as long, as they respect output shape.

Parameters:

num_features (int, optional) – Number of features to detect. In order to keep everything batchable, output would always have num_features output, even for completely homogeneous images. Default: 500
mr_size (float, optional) – multiplier for local feature scale compared to the detection scale. 6.0 is matching OpenCV 12.0 convention for SIFT. Default: 6.0
scale_pyr_module (Module, optional) – generates scale pyramid. See ScalePyramid for details. Default: ScalePyramid(3, 1.6, 10).
resp_module (Module, optional) – calculates 'cornerness' of the pixel. Default: BlobHessian()
nms_module (Module, optional) – outputs per-patch coordinates of the response maxima. See ConvSoftArgmax3d for details. Default: ConvSoftArgmax3d((3, 3, 3), (1, 1, 1), (1, 1, 1), normalized_coordinates=False, output_value=True)
ori_module (Module, optional) – for local feature orientation estimation. Default:class:~kornia.feature.PassLAF, which does nothing. See LAFOrienter for details. Default: PassLAF()
aff_module (Module, optional) – for local feature affine shape estimation. Default: PassLAF, which does nothing. See LAFAffineShapeEstimator for details.
minima_are_also_good (bool, optional) – if True, then both response function minima and maxima are detected Useful for symmetric response functions like DoG or Hessian. Default is False Default: False
