A new approach for merging edge line segments
João Manuel R. S. Tavares, Armando Jorge Monteiro Neves Padilha · 1995
A novel method for the linking or merging of edge line segments belonging to a single line is proposed; the segments can be non-overlapping or overlapping, either fully or partially. Explicit criteria for merging, based on proximity of segments and on directional difference are included in the process.
