Contours, corners and T-junctions detection algorithm

Abstract

This article describes the implementation of the method proposed by Buades, Grompone and Navarro in 2017 for the detection of line segments, contours, corners and T-junctions. The method is inspired by the mammal visual system. The detection of corners and T-junctions plays a role as part of the process in contour detection. An a contrario validation is applied to select the most meaningful contours without the need of fixing any critical parameter.
