Detection and Analysis

  • Blob Analysis
    This example shows how to implement a single-pass 8-way connected- component labeling algorithm and perform blob analysis.
  • Pothole Detection
    This example extends the Generate Cartoon Images Using Bilateral Filtering example to include calculating a centroid and overlaying a centroid marker and text label on detected potholes.
  • FAST Corner Detection
    This example shows how to perform corner detection using the features-from-accelerated-segment test (FAST) algorithm.
  • Harris Corner Detection
    This example shows how to use edge detection as the first step in corner detection.
  • Generate Cartoon Images Using Bilateral Filtering
    This example shows how to generate cartoon lines and overlay them onto an image.
