C++: void fitLine(InputArray points, OutputArray line, int distType, double param, double reps, double aeps)

Python: cv2.fitLine(points, distType, param, reps, aeps) → line

C: void cvFitLine(const CvArr* points, int distType, double param, double reps, double aeps, float* line)

Python: cv.FitLine(points, distType, param, reps, aeps) → line


Parameters:
points – Input vector of 2D or 3D points, stored in std::vector<> or Mat.
line – Output line parameters. In case of 2D fitting, it should be a vector of 4 elements (like Vec4f) - (vx, vy, x0, y0), where (vx, vy) is a normalized vector collinear to the line and (x0, y0) is a point on the line. In case of 3D fitting, it should be a vector of 6 elements (like Vec6f) - (vx, vy, vz, x0, y0, z0), where (vx, vy, vz) is a normalized vector collinear to the line and (x0, y0, z0) is a point on the line.
distType – Distance used by the M-estimator (see the discussion below).
param – Numerical parameter ( C ) for some types of distances. If it is 0, an optimal value is chosen.
reps – Sufficient accuracy for the radius (distance between the coordinate origin and the line).
aeps – Sufficient accuracy for the angle. 0.01 would be a good default value for reps and aeps.
