For one of my course projects, I need to use the OpenCVs GPU libraries. I am working on an existing code where OpenCV python is used and my work is to find a way to access the OpenCV Cuda libraries as right now there are no accessible Python bindings to OpenCV's various CUDA modules.
Two of the functions that i extremely need right now are cuda::warpPerspective and cv::cuda::DescriptorMatcher::knnMatch().
i tried to implement the warpPerspective by following what @ostrumvulpes suggested in Accessing OpenCV CUDA Functions from Python (No PyCUDA) and it is working perfectly. Right now i am stuck in DescriptorMatcher::knnMatch(). To be more precise, i need to use the brute-force descriptor matchers knnmatch function (CUDA). i searched online for example written in C++, so that i get an initial idea how to convert it via cython to make it work.
Most of the examples that i found is like following:
Ptr<cuda::DescriptorMatcher> matcher =
cuda::DescriptorMatcher::createBFMatcher();
vector< vector< DMatch> > matches;
matcher->knnMatch(descriptors_object_Gpu, descriptors_scene_Gpu, matches, 2);
To implement these three lines i first added what i thought was necessary in the .pxd file. My pxd file looks like the following:
GpuWrapper.pxd
from libcpp cimport bool
from cpython.ref cimport PyObject
from libcpp.vector cimport vector

and my pyx looks like this:
GpuWrapper.pyx

cimport numpy as np # Import numpy C/C++ API
def match_feature(np.ndarray[np.float32_t, ndim=3] _src,

cdef Ptr[DescriptorMatcher] matcher= Ptr()
matcher = DescriptorMatcher.createBFMatcher(4)
cdef vector[vector[DMatch]] matches
matcher.knnMatch(src_gpu,src_gpu_2,matches,2)
print("no problem so far")
When i tried to compile it i got an error which says 'Ptr[DescriptorMatcher]' has no attribute 'knnMatch'.
Now as far i understood, the Ptr is a shared pointer of type DescriptorMatcher, So there must be something wrong in my way of defining Ptr from .pxd file.
i just dont know how to fix it. I will really appreciate if someone can help me solving it.
