Curve Extraction by Tensor Voting

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper we propose a method to search curves in pre-processed images based on tensor voting. Given an image that has been binarized and thinned to single-pixel representations, the method performs a five-neighbor searching process which takes into account the turning angle of the pixels on a certain curve. At last the method is tested on several real images.
