Global Curvature Estimation for Corner Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper starts with presenting three curvature estimators which follow definitions (approaches) in differential geometry. Digital-straight segment (DSS) approximation is used in those estimators, we point to problems caused by this approach, and propose simple ways for eliminating those problems. The paper then informs about multigrid analysis experiments, where all estimators appear to be multigrid convergent when digitizing an ellipse. The paper also applies these estimators for corner detection and compares their performance with a recently published heuristic corner-detection approach by means of multigrid analysis. Experiments indicate that corner detectors (based on curvature estimation) perform about as good as the heuristic method for large grid resolutions, and one detector might be even superior.

Robust Corner Detection by Image-Based Direct Curvature Field Estimation for Mobile Robot Navigation
In this paper, a novel corner detection method is presented, to extract geometrically important corners for robot applications, such as indoor mobile robot navigation or manipulation. Intensity‐based corner detectors, such as the Harris corner, can detect corners in noisy environments, but have inaccurate corner positions and miss the corners of obtuse angles. Edge‐based corner det...
متن کاملImage Corner Detection Based on Curvature Scale Space and Adaptive Thresholding
Corner detection or the more general terminology interest point 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 matching, tracking, image mosaicing, panorama stitching, 3D modelling and object recognition. It is difficult to detect both fine and co...

Estimating curvature on digital shapes is known to be a difficult problem even in high resolution images . Moreover the presence of noise contributes to the instability of the estimators and limits their use in many computer vision applications like corner detection. Several recent curvature estimators , which come from the discrete geometry community, can now process damaged data and integrate...

curvature. The boundary of an object is first represented into curvature measured by K-cosine. Then, by modifying the corner detection error, this study proposes a suitable K value and curvature threshold for robust corner detection. Furthermore, the proposed K-cosine corner detection (KCD) was verified with several commonly employed digital objects. The experimental results reveal that the pro...

This paper is an extension of our previous paper to improve the capability of detecting corners. We proposed a method of boundary smoothing for curvature estimation using a constrained regularization technique in the previous paper. We propose another approach to boundary smoothing for curvature estimation in this paper to improve the capability of detecting corners. The method is based on a mi...
