Bounding box of TemplateMatcher?

[Anonymous]

The FValuePixels from the TemplateMatcher will give the X,Y coordinates of the center of a match, but is there a way to get the bounding box? Apologies if this is obvious.

Good question! At present, you'll need to write your own code to do that I'm afraid. I guess the simplest way would be to get the bounds rectangle of the template and translate it so the centre is at the x,y coordinates given by the template matcher:

FValuePixel p = ...;
Rectangle r = template.getBounds();
r.x = p.x + r.width / 2;
r.y = p.y + r.height / 2;

If this is something you'd like to see added to the library in the future, feel free to file a feature request at https://github.com/openimaj/openimaj/issues

Is the bounds rectangle of the template exposed somehow? Or are you saying template.getBounds is the method that needs to be added? Thanks for the quick response on this.

I was assuming that template referred to the FImage instance reresenting the template; the above code should work as is under that assumption without the need for ant methods to be added,
