Minimal Weighted Local Variance as Edge Detector for Active Contour Models
Performing segmentation of narrow, elongated structures with low contrast boundaries is a challenging problem. Boundaries of these structures are difficult to be located when noise...

Shape Guided Contour Grouping with Particle Filters
We propose a novel framework for contour based object detection and recognition, which we formulate as a joint contour fragment grouping and labeling problem. For a given set of...

Man-Made Structure Detection in Natural Images using a Causal Multiscale Random Field
This paper presents a generative model based approach to man-made structure detection in 2D natural images. The proposed approach uses a causal multiscale random field suggested i...

Generic Detection of Multi-Part Objects
A method is proposed to detect multi-part man-made or natural objects in complex images. It consists in first extracting simple curves and straight lines from the edge map. Then, ...

Object Detection Using Principal Contour Fragments
Abstract—Contour features play an important role in object recognition. Psychological experiments have shown that maximum-curvature points are most distinctive along a contour [6...
