Analysis of gray level corner detection 1

In this paper the analysis of gray level corner detection has been carried out. Performances of various cornerness measures are discussed with respect to four performances of robustness: detection, localization, stability and com-plexity. We have analyzed the interior dierential features of the image surface of these cornerness measures. This paper presents a new approach called gradient-direction corner detector for the corner detection which is developed from the popular Plessey corner detection. The gradient-direction corner detector is based on the measure of the gradient module of the image gradient direction and the constraints of the false corner response suppression.
