Interest point detection. Interest point detection is a recent terminology in computer vision that refers to the detection of interest points for subsequent processing. An interest point is a point in the image which in general can be characterized as follows: it has a clear, preferably mathematically well-founded, definition,it has a well-defined position in image space,the local image structure around the interest point is rich in terms of local information contents (e.g.: significant 2D texture[1]), such that the use of interest points simplify further processing in the vision system,it is stable under local and global perturbations in the image domain as illumination/brightness variations, such that the interest points can be reliably computed with high degree of reproducibility.Optionally, the notion of interest point should include an attribute of scale, to make it possible to compute interest points from real-life images as well as under scale changes.
Applications[edit] References[edit] See also[edit] Corner detection. Corner detection is an approach used within computer vision systems to extract certain kinds of features and infer the contents of an image. Corner detection is frequently used in motion detection, image registration, video tracking, image mosaicing, panorama stitching, 3D modelling and object recognition. Corner detection overlaps with the topic of interest point detection. Formalization[edit] A corner can be defined as the intersection of two edges. A corner can also be defined as a point for which there are two dominant and different edge directions in a local neighbourhood of the point. An interest point is a point in an image which has a well-defined position and can be robustly detected.
In practice, most so-called corner detection methods detect interest points in general, rather than corners in particular. "Corner", "interest point" and "feature" are used interchangeably in literature, confusing the issue. The Moravec corner detection algorithm[edit] . And shifting it by . And ). . At.

You aren’t supposed to read it :) Q: How do I get N corners? A: You have to adjust the threshold t automatically: If N is too high, increase t.
Q: Why is the Python/MATLAB code slow? A: The FAST algorithm has been designed to work as quickly as possible and is therefore target strongly towards compiled languages. Like this: Like Loading...

OpenSURF - The Official Home of the Image Processing Library. The task of finding point correspondences between two images of the same scene or object is an integral part of many machine vision or computer vision systems. The algorithm aims to find salient regions in images which can be found under a variety of image transformations. This allows it to form the basis of many vision based tasks; object recognition, video surveillance, medical imaging, augmented reality and image retrieval to name a few.

Feature detection (computer vision) In computer vision and image processing the concept of feature detection refers to methods that aim at computing abstractions of image information and making local decisions at every image point whether there is an image feature of a given type at that point or not.
The resulting features will be subsets of the image domain, often in the form of isolated points, continuous curves or connected regions. There is no universal or exact definition of what constitutes a feature, and the exact definition often depends on the problem or the type of application. Given that, a feature is defined as an "interesting" part of an image, and features are used as a starting point for many computer vision algorithms. Since features are used as the starting point and main primitives for subsequent algorithms, the overall algorithm will often only be as good as its feature detector. Feature detection is a low-level image processing operation.
Locally, edges have a one-dimensional structure. T. Parallel Tracking and Mapping for Small AR Workspaces (PTAM) PTAM (Parallel Tracking and Mapping) is a camera tracking system for augmented reality. It requires no markers, pre-made maps, known templates, or inertial sensors. If you're unfamiliar with PTAM have a look at some videos made with PTAM. Here you may download a reference implementation of PTAM as described in our ISMAR 2007 paper (with the relocaliser from the ECCV'08 paper, and a Faugeras-Lustman initialiser instead of 5PP). This implementation was developed on Linux but should also compile on OSX and Win32 (With Visual Studio); please see the included README file for requirements and compilation instructions.
Have a look at a video of typical operation. This software is aimed at AR/vision/SLAM researchers! It does not come with pre-made AR games like ``Ewok Rampage.''

Important: It seems many people are having trouble initializing the system correctly. News:
