Abstract
Detecting corner points for the digital images is based on determining significant geometrical locations. Corner points lead and guide for providing significant clues for shape analysis and representation. They actually provide significant features of an object, which can be used in different phases of processing. In shape analysis problems, for example, a shape can be efficiently reformulated in a compact way and with sufficient accuracy if the corners are properly located. This chapter selects seven well referred algorithms from the literature to review, compare, and analyze empirically. It provides an overview of these selected algorithms so that users can easily pick an appropriate one for their specific applications and requirements.
