In order to effectively inhibit the image dithering caused by wind-induced vibration in the security monitoring system, it calls for the extraction and match of the feature points of the sequential frames. Harris corner detection algorithm is a widely-employed characteristics extraction algorithm in the image processing. In the security monitoring field, images and videos photographed are characterized by large scale, high pixel and low contrast degree. The classical algorithm often fails to effectively obtain the feature points while handling the images and videos of the kind. Concerning the above problems, this paper puts forward an improved self-adaptive corner detection algorithm. Firstly, this paper employs the self-adaptive gray threshold comparative results of the of every point with the surrounding eight neighborhood points to select the preselected points of part of the corners. Following that, this paper classifies the preselected points into three types according to certain rules and the value of the already selected self-adaptive gray threshold. At last, according to the classification results, this paper uses different corners to test function threshold and the preselected points as well to eliminate the peripheral points and the pseudo-corners so as to gain the genuine corners. After verifying the above improved algorithm in the practical scenario in the security monitoring, the results of this paper prove its effectiveness, feasibility and its advantages in terms of robustness.
