Detailed Description

Holds and builds a pyramid of images: starting with an image at full resolution (octave=1), it builds a number of half-resolution images: octave=2 at 1/2 , octave=3 at 1/2^2, octave=N at 1/2^(N-1).

Color (RGB) or grayscale pyramids can be built from color input images; only grayscale pyramids can be built from grayscale images.

The algorithm to halve the images can be either a 1:2 decimation or a smooth filter (arithmetic mean of every 4 pixels).

Pyramids are built by invoking the method buildPyramid() or buildPyramidFast()

Example of usage:

CImagePyramid  pyr;
CImage img = ...
pyr.buildPyramid(
   img,
   4,    // num. of octaves
   true  // smooth
   );
pyr.images[0].saveToFile("pyr0.jpg");
pyr.images[1].saveToFile("pyr1.jpg");
...

Note: Both converting to grayscale and building the octave images have SSE2-optimized implementations (if available).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CImagePyramid()

CImagePyramid::CImagePyramid ( )

Default constructor, does nothing.

Definition at line 17 of file CImagePyramid.cpp.

◆ ~CImagePyramid()

CImagePyramid::~CImagePyramid ( )

Destructor, frees the stored images.

Definition at line 21 of file CImagePyramid.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ buildPyramid()

void CImagePyramid::buildPyramid	(	const mrpt::utils::CImage &	img,
		const size_t	nOctaves,
		const bool	smooth_halves = `true`,
		const bool	convert_grayscale = `false`
	)

Fills the vector images with the different octaves built from the input image.

Parameters

[in]	img	The input image. Can be either color or grayscale.
[in]	nOctaves	Number of octaves to build. 1 means just the original image, 2 means the original plus the 1/2 image, etc.
[in]	smooth_halves	If true, use an arithmetic mean of every 2x2 pixel block when downsampling.
[in]	convert_grayscale	If true, the pyramid is built in grayscale even for color input images.

◆ buildPyramidFast()

void CImagePyramid::buildPyramidFast	(	mrpt::utils::CImage &	img,
		const size_t	nOctaves,
		const bool	smooth_halves = `true`,
		const bool	convert_grayscale = `false`
	)

Exactly like buildPyramid(), but if the input image has not to be converted from RGB to grayscale, the image data buffer is reutilized for the 1st octave in images[0], emptying the input image.
