New Contour Feature #244

Open kscottz opened 11 years ago

kscottz commented 11 years ago

Create a contour feature which is roughly a set of (x,y) points that define a non-closed shape. We should be able to fit contours to a function (returning the smoothed points or the parameters). It should also be possible to scale, rotate, translate, and draw the contour points.

Is this anyway related to shape context?

manisoftwartist commented 11 years ago

I want to take a shot at this one.Should this be a wrapper over the opencv equivalent ? And why specificity about non-closed shapes?

kscottz commented 11 years ago

This is specifically to deal with one 'contours' splines might be a better word to describe what we are looking for. The idea being that you can take a region of an image, apply some sort of operation to get a binary edge image, and then fit a spline or contour approximation to resulting output.
