Reaction-diffusion applied to discrete distorted circles for industrial control

摘要

In this article, a new implementation of active curves algorithms is proposed. It is question of an active region algorithm based on stationary states of a nonlinear diffusion principle. Its originality is to obtain a set of geometric envelopes in one pass, with a correspondence between level threshold of the grayscale result and a regularity scale, close to the original shape. This set of geometric envelopes gives a multiscale representation, from a very regular approximation to a full detailed and roughest representation. This property is used in a new subpixel circle center estimator developed in the purpose of distorted contours. Results are very promising as precision is noticeably improved compared to a least mean squares estimator. This estimator is then pretty well adapted to limit distortions caused by industrial processes.
