A Minimum Cost Approach for Segmenting Networks of Lines

摘要

The extraction and interpretation of networks of lines from images yields important organizational information of the network under consideration. In this paper, a one-parameter algorithm for the extraction of line networks from images is presented. The parameter indicates the extracted saliency level from a hierarchical graph. Input for the algorithm is the domain specific knowledge of interconnection points. Graph morphological tools are used to extract the minimum cost graph which best segments the network.
