Goosebumps
answer is correct, but I thought that a bit of code might be helpful also. This is my code using MatchTemplate
to detect a template (image A) inside a source image (image B). As Goosebumps
noted, you probably want to include some grey around the template.
Image<Bgr, byte> source = new Image<Bgr, byte>(filepathB); // Image B
Image<Bgr, byte> template = new Image<Bgr, byte>(filepathA); // Image A
Image<Bgr, byte> imageToShow = source.Copy();
using (Image<Gray, float> result = source.MatchTemplate(template, Emgu.CV.CvEnum.TM_TYPE.CV_TM_CCOEFF_NORMED))
{
double[] minValues, maxValues;
Point[] minLocations, maxLocations;
result.MinMax(out minValues, out maxValues, out minLocations, out maxLocations);
// You can try different values of the threshold. I guess somewhere between 0.75 and 0.95 would be good.
if (maxValues[0] > 0.9)
{
// This is a match. Do something with it, for example draw a rectangle around it.
Rectangle match = new Rectangle(maxLocations[0], template.Size);
imageToShow.Draw(match, new Bgr(Color.Red), 3);
}
}
// Show imageToShow in an ImageBox (here assumed to be called imageBox1)
imageBox1.Image = imageToShow;
