Contours have been established in the biological and computer vision literature as a compact yet descriptive representation of object shape. While individual contours provide stru...
We propose a generic grouping algorithm that constructs a hierarchy of regions from the output of any contour detector. Our method consists of two steps, an Oriented Watershed Tran...

Image contour detection is fundamental to many image
analysis applications, including image segmentation, object
recognition and classification. However, highly accurate
image c...

In this paper, a novel feature named Adaptive Contour
Feature (ACF) is proposed for human detection and segmentation.
This feature consists of a chain of a number of
granules in...

Object detection in clutter or occlusion is a hard problem in computer vision. We propose an object detection method based on contour grouping. Two stages are included: a novel di...
