Computer vision

An image point where intensity changes in two directions

In computer vision, a corner is a point in an image where intensity varies strongly in two directions at once, making it a stable, well-localised feature that can be detected and tracked across frames. Shi and Tomasi's 1994 Good features to track gave a widely used criterion, based on the local image structure, for selecting such corner features. The referent is a localisable image feature, scored by its "cornerness," and it is distinct from a fighter's corner or a market corner, sharing only the word.[1]

Unit
A localisable image feature scored by its cornerness
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Identified by a cornerness response, such as the eigenvalues of the local structure matrix

Finance

Buying up supply to control a market and squeeze shorts

In finance, to corner a market is to acquire enough of an asset or its deliverable supply to control its price, so that those who have sold short must buy back from the cornerer at a loss. Allen, Litov, and Mei's 2006 Large Investors, Price Manipulation, and Limits to Arbitrage: An Anatomy of Market Corners models and documents how such corners are engineered and why arbitrage fails to stop them. The referent is a form of price manipulation through supply control, measured by price distortion and short-squeeze losses, and it is a different construct from a boxing corner or an image feature, joined only by the word.[2]

Unit
The degree of price control achieved by concentrating supply
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Detected by abnormal price run-ups, delivery squeezes, and post-corner price collapse
