Emgu CV 3 findContours and hierarchy parameter of type Vec4i equivalent?

Question

I\'m attempting to translate the following OpenCV C++ code into Emgu CV 3:

std::vector > contours;
std::vector

        

Answer 1

Pass a default-constructed Mat to get the hierarchy.

var VectorOfVectorOfPoint contours = new VectorOfVectorOfPoint();
var Mat hierarchy = new Mat();
CvInvoke.FindContours(
    image,
    contours,
    hierarchy,
    RetrType.Ccomp,
    ChainApproxMethod.ChainApproxSimple
    );

Console.WriteLine("contours.Size: " + contours.Size);
Console.WriteLine("hierarchy.Rows: " + hierarchy.Rows);
Console.WriteLine("hierarchy.Cols: " + hierarchy.Cols);
Console.WriteLine("hierarchy.Depth: " + hierarchy.Depth);
Console.WriteLine("hierarchy.NumberOfChannels: " + hierarchy.NumberOfChannels);

// Example Output:
// contours.Size: 4391
// hierarchy.Rows: 1
// hierarchy.Cols: 4391
// hierarchy.Depth: Cv32S
// hierarchy.NumberOfChannels: 4

You can access the hierarchy data using the Mat DataPointer:

    /// 

    /// Get a neighbor index in the heirarchy tree.
    /// 
    /// 
    /// A neighbor index or -1 if the given neighbor does not exist.
    /// 
    public int Get(HierarchyIndex component, int index)
    {
        if (Hierarchy.Depth != Emgu.CV.CvEnum.DepthType.Cv32S)
        {
            throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("ContourData must have Cv32S hierarchy element type.");
        }
        if (Hierarchy.Rows != 1)
        {
            throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("ContourData must have one hierarchy hierarchy row.");
        }
        if (Hierarchy.NumberOfChannels != 4)
        {
            throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("ContourData must have four hierarchy channels.");
        }
        if (Hierarchy.Dims != 2)
        {
            throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("ContourData must have two dimensional hierarchy.");
        }
        long elementStride = Hierarchy.ElementSize / sizeof(Int32);
        var offset = (long)component + index * elementStride;
        if (0 <= offset && offset < Hierarchy.Total.ToInt64() * elementStride)
        {
            unsafe
            {
                return *((Int32*)Hierarchy.DataPointer.ToPointer() + offset);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            return -1;
        }
    }
