Harris Corner Detection

The Harris corner detector, introduced by Chris Harris and Mike Stephens in 1988, is a foundational method for identifying corners and interest points in digital images. Harris corners are points where two edges meet at a significant angle, making them stable and repeatable features for image analysis, matching, and 3D reconstruction.
