cv.GFTTDetector

Wrapping class for feature detection using the goodFeaturesToTrack function

The function finds the most prominent corners in the image or in the specified image region, as described in [Shi94]:

  1. Function calculates the corner quality measure at every source image pixel using the cv.cornerMinEigenVal or cv.cornerHarris.
  2. Function performs a non-maximum suppression (the local maximums in 3x3 neighborhood are retained).
  3. The corners with the minimal eigenvalue less than QualityLevel * max_{x,y}(qualityMeasureMap(x,y)) are rejected.
  4. The remaining corners are sorted by the quality measure in the descending order.
  5. Function throws away each corner for which there is a stronger corner at a distance less than maxDistance.
