Details and Options

- ImageCorners[image] finds corners in image and returns their image coordinates as a list of the form {{x1,y1},{x2,y2},…}, where the {xi,yi} are ranked by decreasing measure of corner strength.
- ImageCorners[image] is equivalent to ImageCorners[image,2,0,1].
- The following options can be given:
-
MaxFeatureDisplacement 0 maximum allowed corner position refinement MaxFeatures All maximum number of corners to be returned Method Automatic method used in corner filtering - By default, ImageCorners will return positions at the center of pixels. The positions can be refined to subpixel accuracy. With MaxFeatureDisplacement->p, a range-p neighborhood is used to compute a refinement of the corner position that may be moved by up to p pixels in either direction.
- By default, corners are detected using a non-maximum suppression on the corner metric computed using CornerFilter. With Method->{method,"StrengthFraction"->f}, only local maxima whose neighbors are less than a fraction f from the center pixel are returned.
- Possible settings for method include:
-
"HarmonicMean" harmonic mean of eigenvalues method "HarrisStephens" Harris–Stephens corner detection {"HarrisStephens",k} Harris–Stephens method with sensitivity parameter k "ShiTomasi" minimum eigenvalue method (default)
