i am trying to access opencvs cuda libraries from python. i am using cython for extension and i followed the answer of @DavidW from Using Opencv Cuda functions from python to implement one of the functions that i needed.
For example, i need to convert the following three lines in cython.
Ptr< cuda::DescriptorMatcher > matcher = cuda::DescriptorMatcher::createBFMatcher();
vector< vector< DMatch> > matches;
matcher->knnMatch(descriptors_object_Gpu, descriptors_scene_Gpu, matches, 2);
based on the answer of @DavidW from Using Opencv Cuda functions from python i implemented the above lines now all i need to do is to send back the variable “matches” (which is a vector of vector Dmatch) to the python.
Now this is where i am stuck. So, from my understanding, when the data is passed from python it needs to be converted to opencv objects and after finishing the computation, the same thing(other way around) is needed to send the result back to python.
for converting the objects i followed what @ostrumvulpes did in pyopencv_converter.cpp (Accessing OpenCV CUDA Functions from Python (No PyCUDA).)
The pyopencv_converter.cpp is given below.

now in the pyopencv_converter.cpp i saw only conversion of Mat was done. what do i need to do if i want to covert the vector of vector to numpy array and send it back to the python.
i looked at the source code of Opencv object conversion from OpenCV's modules/python/src2/cv2.cpp
i guess i need to use the following portion from the cv2.hpp.
template<typename _Tp> static inline PyObject* pyopencv_from_generic_vec(const std::vector<_Tp>& value)
{
int i, n = (int)value.size();
PyObject* seq = PyList_New(n);
for( i = 0; i < n; i++ )
{
PyObject* item = pyopencv_from(value[i]);
if(!item)
break;
PyList_SET_ITEM(seq, i, item);
}
if( i < n )
{
Py_DECREF(seq);
return 0;
}
return seq;
}
template<> struct pyopencvVecConverter<DMatch>
{
static PyObject* from(const std::vector<DMatch>& value)
{
return pyopencv_from_generic_vec(value);
}
};
As, i am new to cython i dont know how to implement the above code in my .pxd file. is it the right way to convert the vector of vectors to numpy? if no then what is the right approach?
I will really appreciate if someone can help me solving it.
