Abstract

We present an approach to contour grouping based on classical tracking techniques. Edge points are segmented into smooth curves so as to minimize a recursively updated Bayesian probability measure. The resulting algorithm employs local smoothness constraints and a statistical description of edge detection, and can accurately handle corners, bifurcations, and curve intersections. Experimental results demonstrate good performance.
