CORNER DETECTION WITH MINIMAL EFFORT ON MULTIPLE SCALES

Ernst D. Dickmanns

2008

Abstract

Based on results of fitting linearly shaded blobs to rectangular image regions a new corner detector has been developed. A plane with least sum of errors squared is fit to the intensity distribution within a mask having four mask elements of same rectangular shape and size. Averaged intensity values in these mask elements allow very efficient simultaneous computation of pyramid levels and a new corner criterion at the center of the mask on these levels. The method is intended for real-time application and has thus been designed for minimal computing effort. It nicely fits into the ‘Unified Blob-edge-corner Method’ (UBM) developed recently. Results are given for road scenes.
