Abstract

The traditional Harris corner detection algorithm is sensitive to noise, and Corner is prone to drift at different image resolution. Combined with the multi-scale features of wavelet transform, propose a corner detection algorithm based on the wavelet transform. The algorithm maintains the advantages of Harris corner detection algorithm in image scaling, rotation or gray scale change, improves its disadvantage of scale invariance, and has strong anti-noise and real-time performance. It has good anti-noise and real-time performance.
