As a way of getting interest points of the figures, Harris corner detector is implemented with the formular of:

with a Gaussian filter.BWCONNCOMP
function in Matlab to group connected points together.Result - Interest Points
Interest points on Notre Dame images by Harris corner detector. |
A figure below represents a schematic explanation of SIFT.

Notre Dame (top 100 points) : 93/100, 93% accuracy |
Notre Dame (total 278 points) : 255/278, 92% accuracy |
Mount Rushmore (top 100 points) : 96/100, 96% accuracy |
Mount Rushmore (total 344 points) : 325/344, 94% accuracy |
Episcopal Gaudi (total 69 points) : 59/69, 86% accuracy after scaling the 2nd image down by 0.6 (Before scaling : 25~40 % accuracy) |
