points_harris_binomial
— Detect points of interest using the binomial approximation of the Harris
operator.
points_harris_binomial(Image : : MaskSizeGrad, MaskSizeSmooth, Alpha, Threshold, Subpix : Row, Column)
points_harris
extracts points of interest from an image
Image
. The Harris operator is based upon the smoothed matrix
where stands for a Binomial smoothing of size
MaskSizeSmooth
and and are
the first derivatives of the image, computed with a Sobel
filter of size MaskSizeGrad
. The resulting points are the
positive local extrema of
If necessary, they can be restricted to points with a minimum filter
response of Threshold
. By default the coordinates of the points
are calculated with subpixel accuracy. This can be turned off by setting
the parameter Subpix
to 'off'.
Note that filter operators may return unexpected results if an image with a reduced domain is used as input. Please refer to the chapter Filters.

points_harris
returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if all parameters are correct
and no error occurs during the execution. If the input is empty the
behavior can be set via
set_system('no_object_result',<Result>)
. If
necessary, an exception is raised.
