ABSTRACT
This paper reviews and summarizes the results of some local feature detection algorithms. Due to the large number of publications, this review just covers the publications prior to 2010. Methods are classified by grayscale and color applications. The grayscale methods are further classified into gradient based methods, orientation/spatial analysis based methods, model/template fitting or matching methods, methods based on fuzzy logic, and statistical learning. The evaluation of the performance of the different algorithms is also discussed. This is not a comprehensive review but aims to cover most of the important developments. It can be used as the first step in literature review for new researchers in edge detection.
