Thread Subject: How can I find out if two images are similar with harris corners detector?

Hello Everyone,
I have two images (quite similar but with different angles) that I display. I have used Harris algorithm to detect the corners in both images and then it provides me with the PIP matrices of the detected corners.
So now, I need to compare these detected corners and determine if it was similar or not. However, I have no clue how to start the comparison. Please help!!

**I tried the SSD but i end up with very large numbers in the matrix and it doesn't show if it is similar or not.

well, the first step is to define 'similar'.

OK!
I want to find out which of the detected corners in the first image corresponds or is similar to the detected corners in the second image.
I hope it’s clear now!!

ok, the first step is still to define 'similar'.

then the second step is to figure out how you would do that job without matlab.
