skimage2.feature.corner_fast

skimage2.feature.corner_fast(image, n=12, threshold=0.15)

Extract FAST corners for a given image.

Parameters:

imagendarray of shape (M, N)

Input image.

nint, optional

Minimum number of consecutive pixels out of 16 pixels on the circle that should all be either brighter or darker w.r.t testpixel. A point c on the circle is darker w.r.t test pixel p if Ic < Ip - threshold and brighter if Ic > Ip + threshold. Also stands for the n in FAST-n corner detector.

thresholdfloat, optional

Threshold used in deciding whether the pixels on the circle are brighter, darker or similar w.r.t. the test pixel. Decrease the threshold when more corners are desired and vice-versa.

Returns:

responsendarray

FAST corner response image.
