Joint Contours, Corner and T-Junction Detection: An Approach Inspired by the Mammal Visual System

We introduce a new algorithm that allows the detection of line segments, contours, corners and T-junctions. The proposed model is inspired by the mammal visual system. The detection of corners and T-junctions plays a role as part of the process in contour detection. This method unifies tasks that ha...

Description
Summary:We introduce a new algorithm that allows the detection of line segments, contours, corners and T-junctions. The proposed model is inspired by the mammal visual system. The detection of corners and T-junctions plays a role as part of the process in contour detection. This method unifies tasks that have been traditionally worked apart. An a-contrario validation is applied to select the most meaningful contours without the need of fixing any critical parameter.
