Title
Fast Radial Symmetry for Detecting Points of Interest
Abstract
A new transform is presented that utilizes local radial symmetry to highlight points of interest within a scene. Its low-computational complexity and fast runtimes makes this method well-suited for real-time vision applications. The performance of the transform is demonstrated on a wide variety of images and compared with leading techniques from the literature. Both as a facial feature detector and as a generic region of interest detector the new transform is seen to offer equal or superior performance to contemporary techniques at a relatively low-computational cost. A real-time implementation of the transform is presented running at over 60 frames per second on a standard Pentium III PC.
