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...
Due to distortion, noise, segmentation errors, overlap, and occlusion of objects in digital images, it is usually impossible to extract complete object contours or to segment the ...
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...

We present a model of contour extraction in which the perceptual salience of contours arises from long-range interactions between orientation-selective filters. Ullman [19], Zucke...
We address a new perceptual grouping algorithmfor aerial images, which employs a decision tree classifier and hierarchical multilevel grouping strategy an a bottom-up fashion. In ...
