public class FastCornerDetector<T extends ImageGray<T>> extends Object implements FeatureIntensity<T>

Generic interface for fast corner detection algorithms. The general idea is that at the points in a circle around the center point (see below) should either be above or below the center pixel's intensity value value. With this information candidates corners can be quickly eliminated, see [1].

This implementation works by trying to minimize the number of reads per pixel. Code is auto generated and samples each point in a series of if statements such that the number of possible candidate corners around a pixel are eliminated. A different auto generated implementation is provided for Fast 9 to Fast 12. The number indicates how many continuous pixels are needed for it to be considered a corner.

After a pixel is flagged as a corner then the the intensity the difference between the average exterior pixel value which is part of the corner and the center pixel value. See code for details.

Circle of radius 2 pixels is searched around the center point 'x':

    • getRadius

      public int getRadius()
      Description copied from interface: FeatureIntensity
      Returns the radius of the feature being computed. Features are square in shape with a width = 2*radius+1.

      getRadius in interface FeatureIntensity<T extends ImageGray<T>>
      Returns:
      Radius of detected features.

      Description copied from interface: FeatureIntensity
      Size of the region surrounding the image's border in which pixels are not processed.
      Specified by:
      getIgnoreBorder in interface FeatureIntensity<T extends ImageGray<T>>
      Returns:
      The ignore border around the image.
