Detailed Description

Classifier to extract regions of interest.

The classifier finds regions of interest (ROI) by some a priori knowledge like known colors or shapes. The list of ROIs returned by classify() _must_ be disjunct, meaning that no ROIs overlap each other. Do appropriate merging or shrinking of the ROIs. See the ReallySimpleClassifier for an example.

Member Function Documentation

std::list< ROI > * Classifier::classify ( ) [pure virtual]

Classify image.

The current buffer is processed and scanned for the features the classifier has been written and initialized for. It returns a list of disjunct regions of interest.

Returns:: disjunct list of extracted regions of interest

Implemented in FacesClassifier, GradientClassifier, SiftClassifier, SiftppClassifier, SimpleColorClassifier, and SurfClassifier.

const char * Classifier::name ( ) const [virtual]

Get name of classifier.

Returns:: name of classifier.

Definition at line 86 of file classifier.cpp.

void Classifier::set_src_buffer	(	unsigned char *	yuv422_planar,
		unsigned int	width,
		unsigned int	height
	)			`[virtual]`

Set source buffer.

Parameters:

	yuv422_planar	a YUV422 planar buffer with the source image to classify. The classifier may NOT modify the image in any way. If that is required the classifier shall make a copy of the image.
	width	width of buffer in pixels
	height	height of buffer in pixels

Reimplemented in GradientClassifier.
