Finding Junctions Using the Image Gradient

Abstract

The author proposes a junction detector that works by filling in gaps at junctions in edge maps. It uses the image gradient to guide extensions of disconnected edges at junctions. A novel representation for the gradient, the bow tie map, is used to implement the endpoint growing rules, which include following gradient ridges and using saddle points in the gradient magnitude. The authors demonstrate the junction detector on real imagery.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
