Question

How do Harris-Stevens interests points compare to other interest points detectors, and which should I use?

Answer 1

Guy, these kind of questions can only be answered by reading into the literature, and considering your needs, requirements, implementation possibilities. Computer Vision is an actively developing field, were asking for some general claim will not help you very much.

Maybe you can first describe what you are trying to do, exactly, and what you have already tried. I recommend that if you want to get started with computer vision, but don't know how to write or configure the algorithms, that you stick with OpenCV and look for tutorials and papers on the internet. Articles on wikipedia can be helpful too! OpenCV contains many outstanding algorithms, and several language bindings.

Best of luck!
