Abstract
We present a filtering method for 2D curvilinear structures, called
RORPO (Ranking the Orientation Responses of Path Operators). RORPO is
based on path operators, a recently developed family of mathematical
morphology filters. Compared with state of the art methods, RORPO is
non-local and well adapted to the intrinsic anisotropy of curvilinear
structures. Since RORPO does not depend on a linear scale-space
framework, it tends to preserve object contours without a blurring
effect. Due to these properties, RORPO is a useful low-level filter and
can also serve as a curvilinear prior in segmentation frameworks. In
this article, after introducing RORPO, we develop the 2D version of the
algorithm and present a few applications.
