Abstract

MSERs (maximally stable extremal regions) belong to the most popular local image features with a wide range of highly practical applications, e.g., (to name a few) in image search and retrieval, object detection and recognition, image stitching, tracking mobile objects, etc. Low complexity of MSER detectors (combined with a regular structure suitable for hardware implementation) makes MSER an attractive option for IoT devices which may require vision capabilities to analyze and interpret their environments. In this chapter, we briefly discuss theoretical, algorithmic, and technical aspects of using MSER for such purposes. The presented results have contributed to the system-on-chip implementation of MSER detector which is also overviewed in this chapter. Additionally, we discuss prospective hardware implementations of even more efficient feature detectors based on MSERs.
