Contour compare using OpenCV(source code), cvFindContours, cvMatchShapes

There is shape match function in the OpenCV.
The function name is cvMatchShapes.
This function compares two contours.
If two contours is same, the function returns 0.
conversely, the value of return is larger, more shape different.
So, we use threshold to decide these pair is similar or not.

#findcontour, #contour, #compare

  3. This is really helpful. What if the size of the contour is smaller or larger than the template contour but the shape is the same? Do you any idea how it will be the same(0)?
