MSER Detector documentation

Introduction

This is a documentation for the Maximally Stable Extremal Regions detector. The source files have following structure:
LL              - directory with LL library
doc             - documentation
extrema         - MSER detector sources
imageutls       - wrappers for reading different image file formats
optionGM        - command line option processing library
utls            - various utilities used by MSER detector

Directories imageutls and optionGM are included only to allow build of a standalone binary. MSER detector itself depends only on the LL and utls library. Main part of the MSER detector is implemented in extrema directory. Whole detector is compiled into library libExtrema. The main interface file is libExtrema.h.

Configuration

Configuration is done through the file config in the root directory of the package. The interesting variables follows:

Installation

Sources can be built by
make all
in the root directory.

After succesful build, library files LL.a and libExtrema.a are located in directories LL and extrema. Include file with MSER detector's interface i.e. exported functions is located in file libExtrema.h.

Examples

Examples using MSER detector interface will be available soon. However there is an example of a standalone detector that uses older interface. The example is located in extrema/extrema.cpp (extrema-mt/extrema.cpp).
