Answer a question

I am just doing an example of feature detection in OpenCV. This example is shown below. It is giving me the following error

module' object has no attribute 'drawMatches'

I have checked the OpenCV Docs and am not sure why I'm getting this error. Does anyone know why?

import numpy as np
import cv2
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

img1 = cv2.imread('box.png',0)          # queryImage
img2 = cv2.imread('box_in_scene.png',0) # trainImage

# Initiate SIFT detector
orb = cv2.ORB()

# find the keypoints and descriptors with SIFT
kp1, des1 = orb.detectAndCompute(img1,None)
kp2, des2 = orb.detectAndCompute(img2,None)

# create BFMatcher object
bf = cv2.BFMatcher(cv2.NORM_HAMMING, crossCheck=True)

# Match descriptors.
matches = bf.match(des1,des2)

# Draw first 10 matches.
img3 = cv2.drawMatches(img1,kp1,img2,kp2,matches[:10], flags=2)

plt.imshow(img3),plt.show()

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "match.py", line 22, in <module>
img3 = cv2.drawMatches(img1,kp1,img2,kp2,matches[:10], flags=2)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'drawMatches'

Answers

The drawMatches Function is not part of the Python interface.
As you can see in the docs, it is only defined for C++ at the moment.

Excerpt from the docs:

 C++: void drawMatches(const Mat& img1, const vector<KeyPoint>& keypoints1, const Mat& img2, const vector<KeyPoint>& keypoints2, const vector<DMatch>& matches1to2, Mat& outImg, const Scalar& matchColor=Scalar::all(-1), const Scalar& singlePointColor=Scalar::all(-1), const vector<char>& matchesMask=vector<char>(), int flags=DrawMatchesFlags::DEFAULT )
 C++: void drawMatches(const Mat& img1, const vector<KeyPoint>& keypoints1, const Mat& img2, const vector<KeyPoint>& keypoints2, const vector<vector<DMatch>>& matches1to2, Mat& outImg, const Scalar& matchColor=Scalar::all(-1), const Scalar& singlePointColor=Scalar::all(-1), const vector<vector<char>>& matchesMask=vector<vector<char> >(), int flags=DrawMatchesFlags::DEFAULT )

If the function had a Python interface, you would find something like this:

 Python: cv2.drawMatches(img1, keypoints1, [...]) 

EDIT

There actually was a commit that introduced this function 5 months ago. However, it is not (yet) in the official documentation.
Make sure you are using the newest OpenCV Version (2.4.7). For sake of completeness the Functions interface for OpenCV 3.0.0 will looks like this:

cv2.drawMatches(img1, keypoints1, img2, keypoints2, matches1to2[, outImg[, matchColor[, singlePointColor[, matchesMask[, flags]]]]]) → outImg
