OpenCv findCircleGrid

The cv.findCirclesGrid function detects the centers of circles arranged in a grid pattern in an image. It returns the detected center coordinates and a logical value indicating if the full pattern was found. It can detect symmetric or asymmetric grids and has options to specify the detector type, neighborhood size, and other parameters to handle different lighting conditions and distortions. The function attempts to reorder the detected centers into a consistent row-column structure and returns true only if the full pattern is detected in the expected order.

findCirclesGrid
findCirclesGrid Finds the centers in the grid of circles

centers = cv.findCirclesGrid(im, patternSize)


[centers,patternFound] = cv.findCirclesGrid(im, patternSize)
[...] = cv.findCirclesGrid(..., 'OptionName', optionValue, ...)

## Input
* __im__ Grid view of input circles. It must be an 8-bit grayscale
or color image.
* __patternSize__ Number of circles per row and columna
(`patternSize = [points_per_row, points_per_colum]`).

## Output
* __centers__ Cell array of detected centers `{[x,y], ...}`.
* __patternFound__ logical return value, see below.

## Options
* __SymmetricGrid__ Use symmetric or asymmetric pattern of circles.
In an
asymmetric grid, the circles in each row are staggered transverse
to the row (important to remember how rows and columns are counted in
this case).
default true.
* __Clustering__ Use a special algorithm for grid detection. It is
more robust to perspective distortions but much more sensitive to
background clutter. This is a good choice when you are trying to
calibrate a camera with an unusually wide field of view. default
false.
* __BlobDetector__ feature detector that finds blobs like dark
circles on light background. It can be specified as a string
containing the type of feature detector, such as 'SimpleBlobDetector'.
It can also be specified as a cell-array of the form `{fdetector,
'key',val, ...}`, where the first element is the type, and the
remaining elements are optional parameters used to construct the
specified feature detector. See cv.FeatureDetector for possible types.
default is to use cv.SimpleBlobDetector with itsdefault parameters.
* __FinderParameters__ Parameters for finding circles in a grid
pattern. You can specify the parameters as a cell-array that starts
with the grid type followed by pairs of key-value options
`{'Symmetric', 'key',val, ...}`, or as a structure where the fields
are the options `struct('GridType','Symmetric', 'key',val, ...)`.
* __GridType__ one of 'Symmetric' (default) or 'Asymmetric'
* __DensityNeighborhoodSize__ default [16,16]
* __MinDensity__ default 10.0
* __KmeansAttempts__ default 100
* __MinDistanceToAddKeypoint__ default 20
* __KeypointScale__ default 1
* __MinGraphConfidence__ default 9.0
* __VertexGain__ default 1.0
* __VertexPenalty__ default -0.6
* __ExistingVertexGain__ default 10000.0
* __EdgeGain__ default 1.0
* __EdgePenalty__ default -0.6
* __ConvexHullFactor__ default 1.1
* __MinRNGEdgeSwitchDist__ default 5.0
* __SquareSize__ Distance between two adjacent points. Used by
'Clustering' algorithm. default 1.0
* __MaxRectifiedDistance__ Max deviation from predicion. Used by
'Clustering' algorithm. default `SquareSize/2`
The function attempts to determine whether the input image contains
a grid of circles. If it is, the function locates centers of the
circles. The function returns `true` if all of the centers have been
found and they have been placed in a certain order (row by row, left
to right in every row).
Otherwise, if the function fails to find all the corners or reorder
them,it returns `false`.

## Example
Sample usage of detecting and drawing the centers of circles:

patternSize = [7,7]; % number of centers


gray = imread('...'); % source 8-bit image
[centers,patternfound] = cv.findCirclesGrid(gray, patternSize);
img = cv.drawChessboardCorners(img, patternSize,
cat(1,centers{:}), ...
'PatternWasFound',patternfound);
imshow(img)

### Note
The function requires white space (like a square-thick border, the
wider the
better) around the board to make the detection more robust in
various
environments.
