Local image segmentation with geometric filters
Peter Veelaert · International Journal of Imaging Systems and Technology · 2011
Abstract We propose a mathematical framework for designing filter banks that detect simple geometric features in an image, such as the planarity of the intensity function. Several theoretical results are given on how the geometry of the filters is related to the discriminative power of the filter bank. The experiment results show how the filters can be used to perform a fast segmentation of an image patch into planar segments. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
