Semantic Line Combination Detector
Authors: Jinwon Ko, Dongkwon Jin, Chang-Su Kim

A novel algorithm called semantic line combination detector (SLCD) to find an optimal combination of semantic lines is proposed in this paper. It processes all lines in each line combination at once to assess the overall harmony of the lines. First we generate various line combinations from reliable lines. Second we estimate the score of each line combination and determine the best one. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed SLCD outperforms existing semantic line detectors on various datasets. Moreover it is shown that SLCD can be applied effectively to three vision tasks of vanishing point detection symmetry axis detection and composition-based image retrieval.
