A method and system is provided for finding stable keypoints in a picture image using localized scale space properties. An integral image of an input image is calculated. Then a scale space pyramid layer representation of the input image is constructed at multiple scales, wherein at each scale, a set of specific filters are applied to the input image to produce an approximation of at least a portion of the input image. Outputs from filters are combined together to form a single function of scale and space. Stable keypoint locations are identified in each scale at pixel locations at which the single function attains a local peak value. The stable keypoint locations which have been identified are then stored in a memory storage. |
