We present a model of contour extraction in which the perceptual salience of contours arises from long-range interactions between orientation-selective filters. Ullman [19], Zucke...
This paper proposes a new approach to describe the salient contours in cluttered scenes. No need to do the preprocessing, such as edge detection, we directly use a set of random s...
This paper describes an algorithm that efficiently groups line segments into perceptually salient contours in complex images. A measure of affinity between pairs of lines is used ...
Abstract. We introduce a shape detection framework called Contour Context Selection for detecting objects in cluttered images using only one exemplar. Shape based detection is inva...
We introduce a novel topological formulation for contour grouping. Our grouping criterion, called untangling cycles, exploits the inherent topological 1D structure of salient cont...
