Ridge's corner detection and correspondence

Traditionally, corners are found along step edges. In this paper we present an alternative approach-corners along ridges/troughs and local minima points. These features seem to be more reliable for tracking. A new approach for sub-pixel localization of these corners is suggested, using a local approximation of the image surface.
