EXPERIMENTAL COMBINATION OF INTENSITY AND STEREO EDGES FOR IMPROVED SNAKE SEGMENTATION
Abstract: In this paper, we
present an algorithm to combine edge information from stereo-derived depth maps
with edges from the original intensity/color image to improve the contour
detection in images of natural
scenes. After computing
the disparity map, we
generate a so-called “Edge Combination image”, which relies on
those edges of the original image that are also present in the stereo map. We
describe an algorithm to identify corresponding intensity and depth edges, which are
usually not perfectly
aligned due to
errors in the
stereo reconstruction. Our experiments show
that proposed Edge
Combination approach can
improve significantly the segmentation results of an Active Contour
algorithm.
