An Improved Algorithm for Harris Corner Detection

Abstract

Corner points are formed from two or more edges and edges usually define the boundary between two different objects or parts of the same objects. In this novel we discuss the theory of the Harris corner detection and indicate its disadvantage. Then it proposes an improved algorithm of Harris detection algorithm based on the neighboring point eliminating method. It reduces the time of the detection, and makes the corners distributing more homogenous so that avoids too many corners stay together. Experimental results show that the algorithm can detect corner more equality distributing, and can be used in some fact applications such as image registration well.
