Abstract

We describe methods to measure the following properties of gray level corners: subtended angle, orientation, contrast, bluntness (or rounding of the apex), and boundary curvature (for cusps). Unlike most of the published methods for extracting these properties these new methods are relatively simple, efficient, and robust. They rely on the corner being predetected by a standard operator, thus making the measurement problem more tractable. Using 13,000 synthetic images the methods are assessed over a range of conditions: corners of varying orientations and subtended angles, as well as different degrees of noise.
