Deep-learning-based object-level contour detection with CCG and CRF optimization
2017
Contour detection is a fundamental problem in computer vision. However, there is still a considerable disparity between detection results and actual contours. To detect object-level contours on the basis of comprehensive analysis of potential edges, we present a deep-learning-based approach with a conditional random fields (CRF) model. We obtain the initial edgemap with a VGGNet-based model, and establish a contour correlation graph (CCG) to describe the potential edges and their relationships. Then a CRF model is adopted to fulfill the optimization on the basis of the analysis of object-level contour characteristics and to predict the validity of candidate contours. The experiment results on various datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods by a noticeable margin.
