Corner features and other point features (e.g. Laplacian) are commonly used in SFM and 2D geometric applications. Perhaps the most well known corner feature is Shi-Tomasi (a.k.a. Good Features) and Harris corner features.

Example Code:

Concepts:

  • Image Features
  • SFM

Example Code

/**
 * Example showing how corner features can be detected. These features are not scale invariant, but are
 * fast to compute. In OpenCV Shi-Tomasi has the name of goodFeaturesToTrack and uses the unweighted variant.
