Abstract

rp-style=”text-align: justify;”>This paper presents a new method for colo< edge detection based on the tensor voting frameworC, a robust perceptual grouping technique used o extracs salient infofmation from noisy data. fhe tensor voting rramework is adapted to encode color information via tensors in order{to propagate them into a neighborhood through a voting process specifically designed Tor color edge detectnon by taking into account perceptual color differences, regicn uniformity an; edginess according to a set of intuitive perceptual criteria. Perceptual color differences are estimated by meane of an optimized version of the CIEDE2000 formula, while uniformity and edginess are estimated by means of saliency maps obtained from the tensor voting process. Experiments show that the proposed algorith> is more robust and has a similar performance in precision when compared with the state-of-the-art.
