I'm using openCV template matching algorithm, but it takes a long time to search for a template image inside the base image. Is there any way to tell the algorithm to search only a specific area(like- Top, Bottom, Left, Right) of the given base image for the template image? My goal is to reduce the search time any other approach would be appreciated.
Here is my code -
template = cv2.imread(temp_img)
template = cv2.cvtColor(template, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
sigma=0.33
v = np.median(template)
lower = int(max(0, (1.0 - sigma) * v))
upper = int(min(255, (1.0 + sigma) * v))
template = cv2.Canny(template, lower, upper)
(tH, tW) = template.shape[:2]
baseImage = cv2.imread(base_img)
gray = cv2.cvtColor(baseImage, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
found = None
threshold = 0.8
for scale in np.linspace(0.1, 0.5, 30)[::-1]:
resized = imutils.resize(gray, width=int(gray.shape[1] * scale))
r = gray.shape[1] / float(resized.shape[1])
if resized.shape[0] < tH or resized.shape[1] < tW:
break
v = np.median(resized)
lower = int(max(0, (1.0 - sigma) * v))
upper = int(min(255, (1.0 + sigma) * v))
canny = cv2.Canny(resized, lower, upper)
res = cv2.matchTemplate(canny, template, cv2.TM_CCOEFF_NORMED)
(min_val, max_val, _, max_loc) = cv2.minMaxLoc(res)
if found is None or max_val > found[0]:
found = (max_val, max_loc, r)
(max_val, max_loc, r) = found
if max_val > threshold:
(start_x, start_y) = (int(max_loc[0] * r), int(max_loc[1] * r))
(end_x, end_y) = (int((max_loc[0] + tW) * r), int((max_loc[1] + tH) * r))
cv2.rectangle(original_image, (start_x, start_y), (end_x, end_y), (0,255,0), 2)
cv2.imshow('detected', original_image)
cv2.imwrite('detected.png', original_image)
cv2.waitKey(0)
The reason it takes a long time is that you are searching for each scale of the template image in the given image.
for scale in np.linspace(0.1, 0.5, 30)[::-1]:
resized = imutils.resize(gray, width=int(gray.shape[1] * scale))
You can remove the for
loop which reduce the search time. The trade-off might be the missing template images. For instance: if you have 5 template image in the given image, you might find 2 of them.
The second option is changing the linspace
parameters:
start: 0.1
stop: 0.5
num: 30
If we interpret the current params:
From the range of 0.1
to 0.5
ratios:
Possible Solutions:
You can do shorten range, ie from 0.4-0.5 np.linspace(0.4, 0.5, 30)
Or you can reduce the generated sample size, ie 20, np.linspace(0.1, 0.5, 20)
