FAST corner detection

Corner detection is the process of extracting features from an image. 

The JuliaFeatures package implements Features from accelerated segment test (FAST). FAST is a computationally efficient corner detector and is suitable for real-time video analysis and a processing algorithm proposed by Edward Rosten and Tom Drummond. You can call the FAST algorithm by using the fastcorners function.

Because of its outstanding performance, quality, and simple configuration, we will be using FAST in all of the following examples. FAST works by scanning the entire image for object corners. It uses a circle of 16 pixels to evaluate whether a point is a corner. The process is also configured by two additional parameters:

  • The number of ...
