Hello,

I am programming in python with OpenCV 2.4.5. My program is as follows:

fast = cv2.FastFeatureDetector()
kp = fast.detect(crop)
img2 = cv2.drawKeypoints(crop, kp, color=(255,0,0))
print kp

Now I would like to find the X and Y co-ordinates from 'kp'. The type of kp is list and the value which is directly printed is '[< KeyPoint 04ACDBD8>]'. Can you please help me finding the co-ordinates.

Thank you.

You get a list of Keypoint-instances from a feature-detector. To access the points, you can use the pt-attribute, for example kp[0].pt would be the first point, where kp[0].pt[0] is the x coordinate and kp[0].pt[1] the y-coordinate of that point.

Example:

im =  cv2.imread('example.jpg', cv2.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE)
fast = cv2.FastFeatureDetector()
kpts = fast.detect(im)
print kpts[0].pt
(336.0, 13.0)

I tried this method but it didn't worked.It comes that pt is not recognised. Do I have to use it with another command? like cv2.keypoint as cv2.Keypoint is also unrecognised.

It works for me (using OpenCV 2.4.8), you can check the attributes of a keypoint with dir(kpts[0]), for me pt is one attribute.
