A fast image recognition algorithm for box?

In summary, to find the four corners of a box in a black and white image with noise, it is recommended to first use a 2D low pass filter to reduce the noise. This can be achieved by convolving the image with a Gaussian matrix or taking the Fourier transform and multiplying it with the Fourier transform of the Gaussian matrix. The dimensions of the Gaussian matrix can determine the level of spatial frequency to be filtered. If available, a built-in Gaussian filter can also be used. Additionally, taking the gradient of the filtered image in both the x and y-axis can help identify the pixels where the box appears.

If you have an image (just black and white) with a box SOMEWHERE in the image, but there's also some noise in the image, is there a good way to find four corners?

I'm sure someone has herd of an algorithm for this, it would just be good if I had a direction to go in.

I would advise to use a 2D low pass filter first to get rid of the noise as much as possible. In other means convolve the image with a gaussian matrix. Or in other saying take fft of the image and multiply with the fft of the gaussian matrix. And then take the inverse of the solution. Dimensions of the gaussian matrix will determine the cut of spatial frequency:

There should be a builtin gaussian filter in the environment you are working. Other than that if I were you I would take a gradient of the filtered image both x and y-axis to see in which pixels the box started to appear.
