ABSTRACT: Contour integration is an important intermediate stage of the object recognition, in which line segments belonging to an object boundary are perceptually linked and segmented from complex backgrounds. This paper puts forward an improved contour integration algorithm. The method computes the vector sum of all neighboring ball voting vectors for an object image pixel to improve the saliency of edges. Four groups of experiments are performed on typical contours to compare the contour in painting effect and the precision. Experimental results show that the contour saliency can be improved by tensor superposition.
