Detecting corners location in subpixels

Goal

In this tutorial you will learn how to:

  • Use the OpenCV function cv::cornerSubPix to find more exact corner positions (more exact than integer pixels).

Theory

Code

This tutorial code's is shown lines below. You can also download it from here

#include "opencv2/highgui.hpp"
#include "opencv2/imgproc.hpp"
#include <iostream>
using namespace cv;
using namespace std;
Mat src, src_gray;
int maxCorners = 10;
int maxTrackbar = 25;
RNG rng(12345);
const char* source_window = "Image";
void goodFeaturesToTrack_Demo( int, void* );
int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
CommandLineParser parser( argc, argv, "{@input | ../data/pic3.png | input image}" );
src = imread( parser.get<String>( "@input" ) );
if( src.empty() )
{
cout << "Could not open or find the image!\n" << endl;
cout << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " <Input image>" << endl;
return -1;
}
cvtColor( src, src_gray, COLOR_BGR2GRAY );

{
