A Particle Filter Framework for Contour Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the contour detection task in complex natural images. We propose a novel contour detection algorithm which locally tracks small pieces of edges called edgelets. The combination of the Bayesian modeling and the edgelets enables the use of semi-local prior information and image-dependent likelihoods. We use a mixed offline and online learning strategy to detect the most relevant edgelets. The detection problem is then modeled as a sequential Bayesian tracking task, estimated using a particle filtering technique. Experiments on the Berkeley Segmentation Datasets show that the proposed Particle Filter Contour Detector method performs well compared to competing state-of-the-art methods.

A Particle Filter Based Non-Rigid Contour Tracking Algorithm with Regulation
This paper presents an active contour tracking algorithm based on the particle filter for a non-rigid object in cluttered scenes. We decompose the non-rigid contour tracking problem into three parts as transition estimation, deformation detection, and shape regulation. We use an affine transform dynamic model and employ the particle filter to estimate the parameters. We generate a probabilistic...
متن کاملFusing color and contour in visual tracking
A tracking system with color and contour information is more efficient and robust than one with color or contour only. However, it is difficult to use both color and contour information. In this paper, we present an approach using the particle filter to fuse color and contour cues in tracking. First, we combine color and contour information in a Kalman filter to generate the proposal distributi...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Skin Lesion Border Detection in Dermoscopy Images
Background: With advances in medical imaging systems, digital dermoscopy has become one of the major imaging modalities in the analysis of skin lesions. Thus, automated segmentation or border detection has a great impact on the subsequent steps of skin cancer computer-aided diagnosis using demoscopy images. Since dermoscopy images suffer from artifacts such as shading and hair, there is a need ...
متن کاملWeakly Supervised Shape Based Object Detection with Particle Filter
We describe an efficient approach to construct shape models composed of contour parts with partially-supervised learning. The proposed approach can easily transfer parts structure to different object classes as long as they have similar shape. The spatial layout between parts is described by a non-parametric density, which is more flexible and easier to learn than commonly used Gaussian or othe...
متن کاملRobust Head Tracking with Particles Based on Multiple Cues Fusion
This paper presents a fully automatic and highly robust head tracking algorithm based on the latest advances in real-time multi-view face detection techniques and multiple cues fusion under particle filter framework. Visual cues designed for general object tracking problem hardly suffice for robust head tracking under diverse or even severe circumstances, making it a necessity to utilize higher...
