OpenCV - undefined reference: SurfFeatureDetector and BruteForceMatcher

Question

I'm making a program in C++ that uses 2 images to detect SURF Features, compute the matches with a bruteforcematcher and draws it.

Here's the code

#include <cstdio>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include "opencv/cv.h"
#include "opencv/highgui.h"
#include "opencv2/features2d/features2d.hpp"


using namespace cv;
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char **argv){
        if (argc <3) {
            cout << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " imageLocation1 imageLocation2" << endl;

            return -1;
        }

        Mat source1 = imread(argv[1],CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE);
        Mat source2 = imread(argv[2],CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE);
        if(source1.empty() || source2.empty()){
        printf("Can't load all the images!");
        return -1;
        }   

//Initialise the Wrapping Class for Surf()
    SurfFeatureDetector detector(400);

//detect : first param: Image, second param: vector (output)

    vector<KeyPoint> keypoints1,keypoints2;

    detector.detect(source1,keypoints1);
    detector.detect(source2,keypoints2);

//Initialise wrapping class for descriptors computing using SURF() class.
    SurfDescriptorExtractor extractor;

//Compute: Input:image, keypoints Output:descriptors
    Mat descriptors1,descriptors2;

    extractor.compute(source1,keypoints1,descriptors1);
    extractor.compute(source2,keypoints2,descriptors2);

//Initialise BruteForceMatcher: For each descriptor in the first set, this matcher finds the closest descriptor in the second set by trying each on (=brute)
    BruteForceMatcher< L2<float> > matcher;
    vector< DMatch > matches;

//match: execute the matcher!
    matcher.match(descriptors1,descriptors2, matches);

//Draw the matches with drawMatches
    Mat target;
    drawMatches(source1,keypoints1,source2,keypoints2,matches,target); 

    imshow("Matches", target);

    waitKey(0);

    return 0;
}

Building isn't a problem, but when linking, I get this very nasty errors:

I really don't know what the problem is. I didn't find a thing at the Internet. Hope someone can help!

I am having the exact same problem , how did you include opencv_features2d ? I did SET(OpenCV_LIBRARIES opencv_core opencv_highgui opencv_imgproc opencv_features2d) but it didn't work . – Hrutkay

Answer 1

If you're using opencv 2.4, SURF and SIFT interfaces are changed to nonfree folder. You can use it by including this line

#include <opencv2/nonfree/features2d.hpp>

then you can use SurfFeatureDetector as before.

Lesson

Add also as dynamic libraries to link libopencv_nonfree.so and libopencv_features2d.so – London

Answer 2

For SURF, @Mingyi Wu have answered. For BruteForceMatcher, please

#include <opencv2/legacy/legacy.hpp>

Rustcolored

Answer 3

if you're using opencv2.4 or trunk from svn, SURF and SIFT interfaces are changed. http://code.opencv.org/projects/opencv/wiki/ChangeLog

Answer 4

I really don't know what the problem is.

The problem is most likely incorrect link line. Unfortunately, you didn't say what your link line is, so no further help could be given. Reading this may be helpful.

My apologies, I forgot that. Edit first post. – Loculus

Found it: I forgot to include a library(opencv_features2d). – Loculus

Answer 5

I had a similar problem after installing ROS. The problem was that I was linking to the wrong libraries.

I fixed the link errors by adding the following line to my CMakeLists.txt: link_directories(/opt/ros/groovy/lib)

Flaming

Answer 6

for ocv 2.4.9:#include <opencv2/nonfree/features2d.hpp> is the location of SURF. In project Settings select Configuration Properties, then Linker, then Input and then add opencv_nonfree249d.lib to Additional Dependencies. With those ones the following example from ocv documentation works fine :-) http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/features2d/feature_detection/feature_detection.html#feature-detection

Answer 7

I had this problem after upgrade OpenCV from 2.3.1 to 2.4.5, and I've solved this issue linking opencv_nonfree, and add the necessary headers for my project:

#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include "opencv2/calib3d/calib3d.hpp"
#include "opencv2/nonfree/features2d.hpp"
#include "opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp"

How does you linked opencv_nonfree?? – Eyelash
