Feature detection and Texture2D processing

A Unity cross-platform library for image recognition and Texture2D processing.

The library enables blob and edge detection/extraction and simple geometric shape recognition with capabilities for custom build descriptors, and additionally a multitude of Texture2D processing tools.

The library contains the following features:

  • Blob detection/extraction

  • Stream analysis

  • Vector2 extensions methods (includes Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm) 

  • Circle Hough Transform 

  • Vasvalingam's Line Simplification 

  • Color comparison: Euclidean, CIE76, Low-Cost Approximation 

  • Simple shape recognition (can be further expanded)

  • Edge detection (Canny, Kirsch, Sobel, Prewitt)

  • Binarization (simple cut-off, Bradley local thresholding, Otsu's methods) 

  • Convolution filters (with ability to easily introduce self-made kernels)

  • Fast Gaussian filters  (advanced Gaussian filters utilizing threading or recursive algorithm)

  • Point filters e.g. grayscale conversion, negative and sepia filters, contrast correction, color[s] swapping, alpha updating, manual color channels modifiers

Notes on the project:

  • Many times I have been asked about the usage of this asset in AR projects. For the initial release, it was not feasible due to speed limitation.

  • Initial stream analysis release (v. 1.2) provided background and knowledge on how to operate in a stream environment but was too slow for practical purposes.

  • Since, I have introduced a new, vastly simplified blob detection algorithm (v. 1.3). It is simpler and less flexible but introduces a significant speed boost.

  • The speed was further increased in ver. 1.5  via Color32[] input manipulation (see this YouTube video).

  • Sadly, using C++ failed to provide improved speed, but other tests are necessary to fully abandon this route.

  • Version 1.6 is live, it contains color comparison, Circle Hough Transform, and Vasvalingam's Line Simplification algorithms.

  • The code was cleaned in Version 1.8, old and obsolete methods were removed and the code was ported to Unity 2018.3 version.
