Some Results

Here are some of the results as promised.

The basic process is to:
1) classify the image with several classifiers,
2) fuse the results from the different classifiers, and
3) extract centerlines with SORM [1].

It worked quite well for this scene (click to enlarge):

Input Image Classified Image Centerlines

And really struggled on this image:

scene-24.jpg scene-24-cl-mbt_mm.jpg scene-24-cl-mbt_mm_sorm.jpg
Input Image Classified Image Centerlines

This would be an example of the average result:

scene-16.jpg scene-16-cl-mbt_mm.jpg scene-16-cl-mbt_mm_sorm.jpg
Input Image Classified Image Centerline

At the end of the day, the method managed to achieve around 63.3% accuracy with a standard deviation of 15.3%.

These results will be compiled into a journal article. I’ll provide more specific details as time progress.
