Abstract
A system and method of processing an image is disclosed. A particular method of determining whether a particular pixel of an image is a feature candidate includes receiving data corresponding to a subset of a plurality of pixels surrounding the particular pixel. Each of the plurality of pixels may be from the image. The method further includes excluding the particular pixel from consideration as a feature candidate based on a comparison of values of the data to a comparison value. The comparison value may be based on an attribute value of the particular pixel and a threshold attribute value.
