- Deleted "RefC" from names of external-interface functions.
- Renamed rhorefc.[cpp|hpp] to rho.[cpp|hpp]
- Introduced RHO_HEST base class, from which RHO_HEST_REFC inherits.
- rhoInit() currently only returns a Ptr<RHO_HEST_REFC>, but in the
future it will be allowed to return pointers to other derived classes,
depending on the values returned by cv::checkHardwareSupport().
- Switched to the extremely fast, while simple and high-quality,
xorshift128+ PRNG algorithm by Sebastiano Vigna in "Further scramblings
of Marsaglia's xorshift generators. CoRR, abs/1402.6246, 2014" (2^128-1
period, passes BigCrush tests). Performance improved by 10% over
random().
- Added an API to allow seeding with a specified seed, rather than using
rand() or random(). This allows deterministic, reproducible results in
tests using our algorithm (although findHomography() does not yet
support passing an entropy source on its own end).
Implements the RHO algorithm as presented in
Paper: Bilaniuk, Olexa, Hamid Bazargani, and Robert Laganiere. "Fast
Target Recognition on Mobile Devices: Revisiting Gaussian Elimination
for the Estimation of Planar Homographies." In Computer Vision and
Pattern Recognition Workshops (CVPRW), 2014 IEEE Conference on, pp.
119-125. IEEE, 2014.
- Complete, heavily documented reference C implementation, as well as
temporarily disabled dirty SSE2 port.
- Enabled tests for RHO in test_homography; Currently these fail
presumably due to too-stringent accuracy requirements.
- Refinement and final refinement are not yet functional; Do not pass
their corresponding flags to RHO.
