Multi-Scale Detection of Curvilinear Structures with High Contour Accuracy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The detection of lines is an important low-level operation in computer vision that has many applications. Most of the existing line detectors do not take into account the width of the lines to be detected. In this paper, a novel multi-scale approach to curvilinear features detection with high contour accuracy is presented. A line detector at different orientations is applied to a multi-scale decomposition of the original image in order to obtain scale-orientation signatures at each pixel, which can be used to detect seeds. The contours of the linear structures are fitted by growing these seeds. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated by its application to recognize marbling in Iberian ham 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 کاملTracking Curvilinear Structures Using Active Contours and Application to Microtubule Videos
We present a novel active contour-based tracking algorithm for highly deformable and fast moving curvilinear structures. We propose to use line features as external forces for the active contour for the detection phase in the first frame. For the tracking part, we propose a novel approach of detecting motion of the endpoints and then deformation of the other points using the same active contour...

This paper presents a multi-scale curvature product corner detection technique in the framework of B-spline curvature scale space. A scale product function is derived from the curvature product of the contour at different scales. Corners are constructed as the local maxima by thresholding the curvature product results across several scales. Through scale product, the localization accuracy and d...
