Mathematical Morphology Based Corner Detection Scheme: A Non-Parametric Approach.

摘要

A simple non-parametric approach for detectingudcorner points using mathematical morphology isudproposed in this paper. The proposed method hasudtwo stages, the first stage deals with the extraction ofudsignificant corner clusters from an image, while theudsecond stage concentrates on detection and localization of true corner points from the extracted corner clusters. The proposed method unlike other morphology based methods detects all true corner points present in the extracted corner clusters.The experimental results reveal that the proposed method outperforms existing morphology based corneruddetection schemes.Keywords:Mathematical morphology,Corner points,Region of support, Curvature estimation, Non-parametric, Small eigenvalue.
