corner-subpix

corner_subpix

skimage.feature.corner_subpix(image, corners, window_size=11, alpha=0.99) [source]

Determine subpixel position of corners.

A statistical test decides whether the corner is defined as the intersection of two edges or a single peak. Depending on the classification result, the subpixel corner location is determined based on the local covariance of the grey-values. If the significance level for either statistical test is not sufficient, the corner cannot be classified, and the output subpixel position is set to NaN.

Parameters:	image : ndarray Input image. corners : (N, 2) ndarray Corner coordinates (row, col). window_size : int, optional Search window size for subpixel estimation. alpha : float, optional Significance level for corner classification.
Returns:	positions : (N, 2) ndarray Subpixel corner positions. NaN for “not classified” corners.
