Effective Interest Region Estimation Model to Represent Corners for Image

Signal & Image Processing : An International Journal

One of the most important steps to describe local features is to estimate the interest region around the feature location to achieve the invariance against different image transformation. The pixels inside the interest region are used to build the descriptor, to represent a feature. Estimating the interest region around a corner location is a fundamental step to describe the corner feature. But the process is challenging under different image conditions. Most of the corner detectors derive appropriate scales to estimate the region to build descriptors. In our approach, we have proposed a new local maxima-based interest region detection method. This region estimation method can be used to build descriptors to represent corners. We have performed a comparative analysis to match the feature points using recent corner detectors and the result shows that our method achieves better precision and recall results than existing methods.

Evaluation of intensity and color corner detectors for affine invariant salient regions

2006

Global features are commonly used to describe the image content. The problem with this approach is that these features cannot capture all parts of the image having different characteristics. Therefore, local computation of image information is necessary. By using salient points to represent local information, more discriminative features can be computed. This research is based on an existing affine invariant local feature detector, in which the features are assumed to be intensity corners. First, the existing algorithm is extended with the intensity based SUSAN corner detector which fundamentally differs from the original Harris corner detector. Second, the algorithm is extended to incorporate color information into the detection process. This results in a comparison between three different detection algorithms: the intensity based algorithm using the Harris or SUSAN detector and a color based algorithm that uses two color extended Harris detectors. The different algorithms are compared in terms of invariance and distinctiveness of the regions and computational complexity.

A Novel Window-Based Corner Detection Algorithm for Gray-Scale Images

Indian Conference on Computer Vision, Graphics & Image Processing, 2008

In computer vision, the corners of an object play an important role in shape representation and analysis. In this paper, we describe a new approach to corner detection in a digital image based on the assumption that corners are image points with high information content, and hence corners in an image exist in the regions having considerably high intensity variations.

Adaptive Corner Detection Algorithm and its Extension using Window-based Approach for Gray-scale Images

IETE Journal of Research, 2011

In computer vision, the corners of an object play an important role in shape representation and analysis. In this paper, we carried out a dozen popular and most cited corner detection algorithms and studied their performances based on several performance measures proposed by us as well as in the literature over a varied range of images and categorized the corner detectors based on different image types and rank their performances with suitable threshold ranges corresponding to different image types. After obtaining a suitable corner detector for a given type of images, the paper describes a new approach to corner detection in a digital image based on the assumption that corners are those image points with high information content, and hence corners in an image exist in those regions having considerably high-intensity variation. Consequently, a complex corner response function is computed only within those regions with considerable high-intensity variation instead of entire image, reducing the computational cost of the whole procedure. Experiments conducted with the help of a few images showed the efficiency of the technique, both in terms of execution time and false-positive corners.

A Technical Review on Image Corner Detection in Machine Vision

2018

The Close-range photogrammetric and Computer vision relies on image processing techniques in order to obtain the information required for tasks devoted to perceiving, sensing and measuring the world around a machine vision system. Corners are the principal local features in image. In general, they are nothing but the points that may have highcurvature and appear in the intersection of various brightness sections of images. In several image attributes, edges are not altered by means of illumination and those attributes have the feature of rotating invariance. They account only about minimal of 0.05% in the total pixels. These have to be either identified or extracted without sacrificing image information.

Corner Detectors for Affine Invariant Salient Regions: Is Color Important?

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2006

Recently, a lot of research has been done on the matching of images and their structures. Although the approaches are very different, most methods use some kind of point selection from which descriptors or a hierarchy are derived. We focus here on the methods that are related to the detection of points and regions that can be detected in an affine invariant way. Most of the previous research concentrated on intensity based methods. However, we show in this work that color information can make a significant contribution to feature detection and matching. Our color based detection algorithms detect the most distinctive features and the experiments suggest that to obtain optimal performance, a tradeoff should be made between invariance and distinctiveness by an appropriate weighting of the intensity and color information.

Accelerated Corner-Detector Algorithms

2008

Fast corner-detector algorithms are important for achieving real time in different computer vision applications. In this paper, we present new algorithm implementations for corner detection that make use of graphics processing units (GPU) provided by commodity hardware. The programmable capabilities of modern GPUs allow speeding up counterpart CPU algorithms. In the case of corner-detector algorithms, most steps are easily translated from CPU to GPU. However, there are challenges for mapping the feature selection step to the GPU parallel computational model. This paper presents a template for implementing corner-detector algorithms that run entirely on GPU, resulting in significant speed-ups. The proposed template is used to implement the KLT corner detector and the Harris corner detector, and numerical results are presented to demonstrate the algorithms efficiency.

The method was quite accurate , efficiency and fast , but rather fair with noisy images

An efficient technique for object recognition using Shi-Tomasi corner detection algorithm

Soft Computing, 2020

An efficient feature detection algorithm and image classification is a very crucial task in computer vision system. There are various state-of-the-art feature detectors and descriptors available for an object recognition task. In this paper, the authors have compared the performance of Shi-Tomasi corner detector with SIFT and SURF feature descriptors and evaluate the performance of Shi-Tomasi in combination with SIFT and SURF feature descriptors. To make the computations faster, authors have reduced the size of features computed in all cases by applying locality preserving projection methodology. Features extracted using these algorithms are further classified with various classifiers like K-NN, decision tree and random forest. For experimental work, a public dataset, namely Caltech-101 image dataset, is considered in this paper. This dataset comprises of 101 object classes. These classes have further contained many images. Using a combination of Shi-Tomasi, SIFT and SURF features, the authors have achieved a recognition accuracy of 85.9%, 80.8% and 74.8% with random forest, decision tree and K-NN classifier, respectively. In this paper, the authors have also computed true positive rate, false positive rate and area under curve in all cases. Finally, the authors have applied the adaptive boosting methodology to improve the recognition accuracy. Authors have reported improved recognition accuracy of 86.4% using adaptive boosting with random forest classifier and a combination of Shi-Tomasi, SIFT and SURF features.
