convert keypoints to mat or save them to text file opencv

Question

I have extracted SIFT features in (opencv open source) and they are extracted as keypoints. Now, I would like to convert them to Matrix (With their x,y coordinates) or save

Answer 1

Convert to cv::Mat is as follows.

std::vector keypoints;
std::vector points;
std::vector::iterator it;

for( it= keypoints.begin(); it!= keypoints.end();it++)
{
    points.push_back(it->pt);
}

cv::Mat pointmatrix(points);

Write to filestorage is

cv::FileStorage fs("test.yml", cv::FileStorage::WRITE);
cv::FileStorage fs2("test2.xml", cv::FileStorage::WRITE);

detector.write(fs);
detector.write(fs2);
