Abstract
The present application provides a method of corner detection and an image processing system for detecting corners in an image. The preferred implementation is in software using enabling and reusable hardware features in the underlying vector processor architecture. The advantage of this combined software and programmable processor datapath hardware is that the same hardware used for the FAST algorithm can also be readily applied to a variety of other computational tasks, not limited to image processing.
