A Fast and Robust Ellipse-Detection Method Based on Sorted Merging
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fast and robust ellipse-detection method based on sorted merging is proposed in this paper. This method first represents the edge bitmap approximately with a set of line segments and then gradually merges the line segments into elliptical arcs and ellipses. To achieve high accuracy, a sorted merging strategy is proposed: the merging degrees of line segments/elliptical arcs are estimated, and line segments/elliptical arcs are merged in descending order of the merging degrees, which significantly improves the merging accuracy. During the merging process, multiple properties of ellipses are utilized to filter line segment/elliptical arc pairs, making the method very efficient. In addition, an ellipse-fitting method is proposed that restricts the maximum ratio of the semimajor axis and the semiminor axis, further improving the merging accuracy. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method is robust to outliers, noise, and partial occlusion and is fast enough for real-time applications.

Finding Poly-Curves of Straight Line and Ellipse Segments in Images
Simplification of given polygons has attracted many researchers. Especially, finding circular and elliptical structures in images is relevant in many applications. Given pixel chains from edge detection, this paper proposes a method to segment them into straight line and ellipse segments. We propose an adaption of Douglas-Peucker’s polygon simplification algorithm using circle segments instead ...
متن کاملEllipse Detection through Decomposition of Circular Arcs and Line Segments
In this work we propose an efficient and original method for ellipse detection which relies on a recent contour representation based on arcs and line segments [1]. The first step of such a detection is to locate ellipse candidate with a grouping process exploiting geometric properties of adjacent arcs and lines. Then, for each ellipse candidate we extract a compact and significant representatio...
متن کاملA Robust Strucutural Fingerprint Restoration
Fast and accurate ridge detection in fingerprints is essential to each AFIS (Automatic Fingerprint Identification System). Smudged furrows and cut ridges in the image of a finger print are major problems in any AFIS. This paper investigates a new online ridge detection method that reduces the complexity and costs associated with the fingerprint identification procedure. The noise in fingerprint...
متن کاملNew method for ellipse detection by means of symmetry
We propose a new approach for detecting ellipses. The approach is based on the geometrical property that five points on an ellipse can determine the parameters of the ellipse, and the symmetry of ellipses is used to obtain these points. Using symmetry, we classify the edge points in an input image into several subimages. Ellipses with different symmetric axes will lie in different subimages. In...
متن کاملRobust ellipse detection based on hierarchical image pyramid and Hough transform.
In this research we propose a fast and robust ellipse detection algorithm based on a multipass Hough transform and an image pyramid data structure. The algorithm starts with an exhaustive search on a low-resolution image in the image pyramid using elliptical Hough transform. Then the image resolution is iteratively increased while the candidate ellipses with higher resolution are updated at eac...
