Line segments are powerful features complementary to points. They offer structural cues,
robust to drastic viewpoint and illumination changes, and can be present even in texture …

Cables and hangers are critical components of long‐span bridges, tension forces of them
are needed to be accurately measured for ensuring the safety of bridges. Traditionally, cable …

In contrast to sparse keypoints, a handful of line segments can concisely encode the high-
level scene layout, as they often delineate the main structural elements. In addition to …

Compared to feature point detection and description, detecting and matching line segments
offer additional challenges. Yet, line features represent a promising complement to points for …

On maritime images, the horizon is a linear shape separating the sea and non-sea regions.
This visual cue is essential in several sea video surveillance applications, including camera …

An image line segment is a fundamental low-level visual feature that delineates straight,
slender, and uninterrupted portionsof objects and scenarios within images. Detection and …

Low-textured image stitching remains a challenging problem. It is difficult to achieve good
alignment of images and it is easy to break images structures are often broken due to …

We present the novel Efficient Line Segment Detector and Descriptor (ELSD) to
simultaneously detect line segments and extract their descriptors in an image. Unlike the …

Line segment matching (LSM) plays an important role in image matching, while it is always a
challenging problem due to line fracture and high geometric complexity. In this paper, we …

Traditional visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) systems rely on point
features to estimate camera trajectories. However, feature-based systems are usually not …
