Cross correlation does not work

[shyweissman]

Here is my sample code that runs but return zero on all return matrix

int

_tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])

{

IppiSize srcRoiSize, tplRoiSize, SizeMat;

Ipp8u* p_img_src, *p_img_templ,*imgMatr;

srcRoiSize.height = 64;

srcRoiSize.width = 64;

tplRoiSize.height = 32;

tplRoiSize.width = 32;

SizeMat.height = 33;

SizeMat.width = 33;

int StepByteSrc,StepByteTempl,stepBytes;

int max_x,max_y;

Ipp8u max_val;

p_img_src = ippiMalloc_8u_C1(64, 64,&StepByteSrc );

p_img_templ = ippiMalloc_8u_C1(32, 32,&StepByteTempl );

imgMatr = ippiMalloc_8u_C1(33, 33,&stepBytes );

memset((void*)p_img_src,0x80,64*64);

memset((void*)p_img_templ,0x80,32*32);

// memset((void*)imgMatr,0,stepBytes*33);

IppStatus Corr_status =

ippiCrossCorrValid_NormLevel_8u_C1RSfs(p_img_src,StepByteSrc, srcRoiSize,

p_img_templ,StepByteTempl ,tplRoiSize, imgMatr, stepBytes, 0);

ippiMaxIndx_8u_C1R(imgMatr, stepBytes, SizeMat, &max_val, &max_x, &max_y);

ippiFree(imgMatr);

return 0;

}

Correlation coeffs are

[Intel_C_Intel]

Correlation coeffs are less

[Intel_C_Intel]

Abs value of correlation coeffs are less than 1, so 8u results will be always 0 with a scale factor 0. Try scale factor = -8

[shyweissman]

It does not work with -8 eigther.

It always give matrix of zeros unless bytes of template and image contain more than one value ie 0 and 1.

If all bytes of template or image are equall the matrix is all zero.

Please look to cross correlation folmula in the manual.

The image mean is subtracted from the image ie zero result will be for constant image or template
