Abstract
Using simple grouping rules in Gestalt theory, one may detect higher
level features (geometric structures) in an image from elementary
features. By recursive grouping of already detected geometric structures
a bottom-up pyramid could be built that extracts increasingly complex
geometric features from the input image. Taking advantage of the
(recent) advances in reliable line segment detectors, in this paper, we
propose three feature detectors along with their corresponding detailed
algorithms that constitute one step up in this pyramid. For any digital
image, our unsupervised algorithm computes three classic Gestalts from
the set of predetected line segments: good continuations, non-local
alignments, and bars. The methodology is based on a common stochastic a
contrario model yielding three simple detection formulas, characterized
by their number of false alarms. This detection algorithm is illustrated
on several digital images.
