    Here are some image processing utility programs that might be of use.
  • Windows corner matrix viewer corner_detection_gui.exe -shows the computations behind the first stages of the Shi&Tomasi, KLT, Harris corner detectors
  • Windows homography matrix viewer view_homog_matrix.zip -one window per image, see homography mapping a point from one image to a point in the other. Also shows reverse mapping and grid.
  • Windows fundamental matrix viewer view_fund_matrix.zip -one window per image, see fundamental matrix mapping a point from one image to a line in another. Also shows epipoles and reverse mapping.
  • Windows interest point (corner) detector viewer klt_fast_susan_corner_viewer.zip -KLT, FAST, SUSAN corner detectors all on same image, change parameters, see processing time. For live video or static image
