Detailed Description

Track a set of features from old_img -> new_img using sparse optimal flow (classic KL method).

See CGenericFeatureTracker for a more detailed explanation on how to use this class.

List of additional parameters in "extra_params" (apart from those in CGenericFeatureTracker) accepted by this class:

"window_width" (Default=15)
"window_height" (Default=15)
"LK_levels" (Default=3) Number of pyramids to build for LK tracking (this parameter only has effects when tracking with CImage's, not with CImagePyramid's).
"LK_max_iters" (Default=10) Max. number of iterations in LK tracking.
"LK_epsilon" (Default=0.1) Minimum epsilon step in interations of LK_tracking.
"LK_max_tracking_error" (Default=150.0) The maximum "tracking error" of LK tracking such as a feature is marked as "lost".

inherited

Perform feature tracking from "old_img" to "new_img", with a (possibly empty) list of previously tracked features "inout_featureList".

This is a list of parameters (in "extraParams") accepted by ALL implementations of feature tracker (see each derived class for more specific parameters).

"add_new_features" (Default=0). If set to "1", new features will be also added to the existing ones in areas of the image poor of features. This method does:

Convert old and new images to grayscale, if they're in color.

Call the pure virtual "trackFeatures_impl" method.
Implement the optional detection of new features if "add_new_features"!=0.
