OpenCV euclidean distance between two vectors

Question

I want to calculate the euclidean distance between two vectors (or two Matrx rows, doesn't matter). Is there a good function for that in OpenCV?

Answer 1

yes.

Mat a,b; // num of rows/cols/channels does not matter, they just have to be equal for both

double dist = norm(a,b,NORM_L2);

Answer 2

Source: OpenCV, C++: Distance between two points

Mat pts1(nPts, 1, CV_8UC2), pts2(nPts, 1, CV_8UC2);
// populate them
Mat diffPts = pts1-pts2;
Mat ptsx, ptsy;
// split your points in x and y vectors. maybe separate them from start
Mat dist;
magnitude(ptsx, ptsy, dist); // voila!

Answer 3

Same for python :

    dist = cv2.norm(pts - dst, cv2.NORM_L2)
