Description
Summary:Edges are important cues for localizing object proposals. The recent progresses to this problem are mostlydriven by defining effective objectness measures based on edge cues. In this paper, we develop a new representation nameddirectional edges on which each edge pixel is assigned with a direction toward object center, through learning a directionprediction model with convolutional neural networks in a holistic manner. Based on directional edges, two new objectnessmeasures are designed for ranking object proposals. Experiments show that the proposed method achieves 97.1% objectrecall at an overlap threshold of 0.5 and 81.9% object recall at an overlap threshold of 0.7 at 1 000 proposals on the PASCALVOC 2007 test dataset, which is suDerior to the state-of-the-art methods.
