OpenCVtemplate matchingwith rotation

Let's suppose you want to find the templates shown below in the image shown above (you can download these images here if you like):

To figure out when template matching works and when it doesn't, let's play around with the OpenCV cv2.matchTemplate() function! In the bounding boxes exercise, I found six cars in the image above. This time, we're going to play the opposite game. Assuming we know these six cars are what we're looking for, we can use them as templates and search the image for matches.

However , the point of this exercise is not to discover why template matching works for vehicle detection, but rather, why it doesn't! So, after you have a working implementation of the find_matches() function, try it on the second image, temp-matching-example-2.jpg , which is currently commented out.

You can choose between "squared difference" or "correlation" methods in using cv2.matchTemplate() , but keep in mind with squared differences you need to locate the global minimum difference to find a match, while for correlation, you're looking for a global maximum.

In the second image, all of the same six cars are visible (just a few seconds later in the video), but you'll find that none of the templates find the correct match! This is because with template matching we can only find very close matches, and changes in size or orientation of a car make it impossible to match with a template.

Follow along with this tutorial provided by OpenCV to try some different template matching techniques. The function you write should work like this:

Your goal in this exercise is to write a function that takes in an image and a list of templates, and returns a list of the best fit location (bounding box) for each of the templates within the image. OpenCV provides you with the handy function cv2.matchTemplate() ( documentation ) to search the image, and cv2.minMaxLoc() ( documentation ) to extract the location of the best match.
