OpenCV SPAMS Interface

This repostory contains a small set of conversion functions between OpenCV and SPAMS as well as a few examples how to use spams from cpp with opencv. Of course you need opencv installed.

Build Instructions

Open example/Makefile and change OPENCV_PATH, so it points to OpenCV on your machine.

OPENCV_PATH = /your/opencv/path

Build and start demo. The possible arguments to the script can be found at the end of the example.cpp file. Be sure to execute the example form the right folder, as it includes hardcoded image paths which will lead to execution failure otherwise.

make
cd ..
bin/example test_patches

OpenCV SPAMS Conversion

To use SPAMS from cpp include all subdirectories of the spams/ folder. The file spams/cvspams/cvspams.h contains the OpenCV SPAMS conversion functions. To conform to the style of SPAMS no seperate *.cpp files were created. It has to be noted, that the conversion is currently restricted to single channel, double images and matrices.

SPAMS Interface

The folder spams/cppspams/ contains some example interface functions from SPAMS. These examples were made by the SPAMS authors and are not complete, but a lot of functions from SPAMS do not need an additional interface anyway, eg. dictionary learning can be used directly as shown in the test_trainDL example in example/example.cpp.
