Abstract: |
In this paper, we present an efficient segmentation technique that extracts piecewise linear patterns from hand-drawn maps. The user is only required to place the starting and end points and the method is capable of extracting the route that connects the two, which closely colocates with the hand-drawn map. It provides an effective approach to interactively process and understand those historical maps. The proposed method employs supervised learning to evaluate at every pixel location the probability that such a lineage pattern exists, followed by shortest path segmentation to extract the border of interest. |
