Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for refining groupings of edge points that represent contours in an image. The methods and apparatuses decrease data dispersion and data quantization effects. The methods and apparatuses are particularly useful for accurate and robust detection of straight line-segment features contained in noisy, cluttered imagery occurring in industrial machine vision applications. Additionally, a measurement criterion of the quality of the detected line segments is introduced.
