Overview of this book

iOS Application Development with OpenCV 3 enables you to turn your smartphone camera into an advanced tool for photography and computer vision. Using the highly optimized OpenCV library, you will process high-resolution images in real time. You will locate and classify objects, and create models of their geometry. As you develop photo and augmented reality apps, you will gain a general understanding of iOS frameworks and developer tools, plus a deeper understanding of the camera and image APIs. After completing the book's four projects, you will be a well-rounded iOS developer with valuable experience in OpenCV.

Classifying blobs by color and keypoints

Our classifier operates on the assumption that a blob contains distinctive colors, distinctive keypoints, or both. To conserve memory and precompute as much relevant information as possible, we do not store images of the reference blobs, but instead we store histograms and keypoint descriptors.

Create a new file, BlobClassifier.cpp, for the implementation of our BlobClassifier class. (To review the header, refer back to the Defining blob descriptors and a blob classifier section.) At the top of BlobDetector.cpp, we will define several constants that pertain to the number of histogram bins, the histogram comparison method, and the relative importance of the histogram comparison versus the keypoint comparison. Here is the relevant code:

#include <opencv2/imgproc.hpp>

#include "BlobClassifier.h"

#ifdef WITH_OPENCV_CONTRIB
#include <opencv2/xfeatures2d.hpp>
#endif

const int HISTOGRAM_NUM_BINS_PER_CHANNEL = 32;
const int HISTOGRAM_COMPARISON_METHOD...
