Match image descriptors — .match

Brute force matching of descriptors using scikit-image. Find matching image descriptors between moving images and a target image.

.match_descriptor(
  descriptor_list,
  target_idx = 1L,
  cross_check = TRUE,
  max_ratio = 0.8,
  ...,
  pkg_ptr
)

Arguments

descriptor_list: list of descriptor matrices
target_idx: which item in the list is the target image. Default is 1
cross_check: whether to check that only the best match is returned
max_ratio: Maximum ratio of distances between first and second closest descriptor in the second set of descriptors. This threshold is useful to filter ambiguous matches between the two descriptor sets. The choice of this value depends on the statistics of the chosen descriptor, e.g., for SIFT descriptors a value of 0.8 is usually chosen, see D.G. Lowe, "Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints", International Journal of Computer Vision, 2004.
...: additional params to pass to `skimage.feature.match_descriptors()`
