The present invention converts the feature point list in the raster scan order into the maximum suppression feature point list. The entries in the working buffer are two more than the width of the original image. Each entry is assigned to the x coordinate of the original image. Each entry stores the combined y coordinate and reliability score of each feature point in the original list. This process involves forward scanning and backward scanning. For each original feature point, its x coordinate defines the storage location of the adjacent feature point (if any) in the working buffer. If the potential neighbor is not an actual neighbor, the initial data and y coordinate of the working buffer can ensure that the comparison result is not suppressed. For actual neighbor data, the y coordinate matches, and the comparison result depends only on the relative reliability score.
