Segmentation and grouping of object boundaries using energy minimization
Deborah Trytten, Mihran Tüceryan · 2002
An algorithm is described which performs curvilinear grouping of image edge elements for detecting object boundaries. The method works by generating hypotheses and selecting the best one. A neighborhood definition based on Delaunay graph is used to keep the number of generated hypotheses small. An energy minimizing curve is fit to the generated hypotheses to evaluate the grouping and locate discontinuities.>
