OpenCV角点检测器测试和比较

关于特征检测，OpenCV提供了通用的接口FeatureDetector类。简单调用其成员函数create()和detect()即可完成角点检测。

选取8个以角点为特征的特征检测器进行测试，包括：

• HARRIS
• GFTT (Shi-tomasi)
• SIFT
• SURF
• FAST
• STAR
• ORB (oriented BRIEF)
• BRISK

测试代码

比较

可以看出，FAST特征检测算法的检测速度是超群的，难怪敢自称“FAST”。从特征点检测效率以及检测出的特征点数来看，SURF表现也不错。以上各个角点检测器，使用的都是OpenCV默认的封装，可能会因为具体的参数设置差异，检测出的角点数有不同，可比性没法说明。但是，特征点检测效率还是很客观的。由以上结果得知，检测效率最高的前3个检测器分别为FAST，ORB，SURF。
