Revision history [back]

I am basically extracting many keypoints with SURF from similar images and adding them to the

BFMatcher(NORM_L2)

After I have calculate all descriptors from my keypoints and I have a

Mat descriptors;

I had them to the matcher->add(descriptors);

Now when I have added only a few of images, all works fine, but at some point when I try to:

matcher->knnMatch(queryDesc,matches,2);

I get a vector with 0 Nearest-neighbour. If i do:

for(auto i = 0; i <matches.size(); i++) {
    cout << "matches size: "<<matches[i].size()<<endl;

I get printed

"matches size: 0"
"matches size: 0"
"matches size: 0"
...

This happens only when I have inserted more than 20-30 images. Before the knnMatch works fine.

What it could be? (Version 2.4.5) I have tried with SIFT and it happens the same thing

Maybe it's because the reference to the vector<Mat> that i pass to the matcher.add(); gets lost ?

I have tried to check if matcher.getTrainDescriptors(); matcher.getTrainDescriptors(); contains my descriptors and effectively it contains everythingeverything. To check this, if i do:

cout << matcher->getTrainDescriptors().at(0).size(); // (Get the size of the descriptors Mat associated to the first training image)

I get: [128 x 32]. This means that descriptors are there but the knnMatches return an empty vector

Note: the same code works fine if i use ORB :S
