Comparison of Discrete Curvature Estimators and Application to Corner Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several curvature estimators along digital contours were proposed in recent works [1–3]. These estimators are adapted to non perfect digitization process and can process noisy contours. In this paper, we compare and analyse the performances of these estimators on several types of contours and we measure execution time on both perfect and noisy shapes. In a second part, we evaluate these estimators in the context of corner detection. Finally to evaluate the performance of a non curvature based approach, we compare the results with a morphological corner detector [4].

Curvature Based Corner Detector for Discrete, Noisy and Multi-Scale Contours
Estimating curvature on digital shapes is known to be a difficult problem even in high resolution images . Moreover the presence of noise contributes to the instability of the estimators and limits their use in many computer vision applications like corner detection. Several recent curvature estimators , which come from the discrete geometry community, can now process damaged data and integrate...
متن کاملGlobal Curvature Estimation for Corner Detection
The paper starts with presenting three curvature estimators which follow definitions (approaches) in differential geometry. Digital-straight segment (DSS) approximation is used in those estimators, we point to problems caused by this approach, and propose simple ways for eliminating those problems. The paper then informs about multigrid analysis experiments, where all estimators appear to be mu...
متن کاملBoundary-based corner detection using ANNs
Corners on a curve arise where two relatively straight line segments intersect. Corners in a graylevel image occur in regions of rapidly changing intensity levels and gradient directions. Therefore, corner detection techniques can be classified into two categories: binary and gray level. The binary approaches involve, first segmenting the image into meaningful regions, and then extracting bound...
متن کاملApplication of surface-derived attributes in determining boundaries of potential-field sources
This paper describes an edge detection method based on surface-derived attributes. The surface-derived attributes are widely used in the interpretation ofseismic datain two main categories: (1) derivative attributes including the dip angle and the azimuth; (2) derivative attributes including curvature attributes. In general, the magnitude of the normal curvature of a surface (curvature attri...
متن کاملMorphological Corner Detection. Application to Camera Calibration
In this paper we study the application of the Affine Morphological Scale Space (AMSS) to corner detection with subpixel precision. Corner detection techniques are in general very sensitive to noise, so some kind of filtering is usually needed to remove noise before estimating the corner location, however, the filtering procedure changes the location of the corner, so the filtering introduce err...
