Abstract
This paper presents a two-layer threshold method for the corner detection. The method is inspired by the classical Susan corner detection model, and the improvement is two-fold. One is the choice of the self-adaptive threshold, which can be used to detect the possible corner areas. However, since a corner has an arbitrary orientation and sometimes is disturbed by noises, we provide a series of rotate coordinate systems, the second improvement, to enhance the accuracy of our method. Experiment results show that the improved algorithm is robust and is of high efficiency.
