Corner Detector

Detecting corners is often a good first step in computer vision.  If you can match corners from two images you are well on your way to figuring out how they fit together for example.

Corner detection is an approach used within computer vision systems to extract certain kinds of features and infer the contents of an image. Corner detection is frequently used in motion detection, image registration, video tracking, image mosaicing, panorama stitching, 3D modelling and object recognition. Corner detection overlaps with the topic of interest point detection.
