Vanishing Point Detection Algorithm Based on Clustering Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Camera self-calibration is a key step in photo based reconstruction works. Vanishing point detection is a very important method in single photo based camera self-calibration. We research current vanishing point detection method and put forward a detection algorithm based on a new clustering idea: J-Linkage. First, we construct a similar concept space from straight lines from images by edge detection and segmentation method. Then, we cluster the similar concept space to decide several main directions. At last, we can easily estimate vanishing points from the clustered categories. Experiment prove that, the method has a high performance efficiency and with good accuracy.
