Abstract:

Lines provide important information in images and line detection is crucial in many applications. Many line features can be used to detect line position while line width (i.e., thickness) is a more structured, higher-level feature compared to edge or other line features. Every point of the wide line structure has its own width in spite of the structure's asymmetry. In this paper, we use the parallel edges to get the line orientation and width. We do not need to know the actual width of the line, but rather recover it to get the region of interest (ROI). Then use a modified OTSU obtaining proper region threshold T to segment the wide line structures. By fusing feature of width and gray, a sequence of tests has been conducted on a variety of image samples obtained from simple natural scene and our experimental results demonstrate the practical and robust of the proposed method.
