Stochastic model for curvilinear structure reconstruction using morphological profiles

In this work, we propose a stochastic model for curvilinear structure reconstruction using morphological profiles of path opening operator. We apply the support vector machine classifier to obtain initial probabilities to belong to line network for each pixel. Then, we formulate a stochastic optimization problem that detects line segments corresponding to the latent curvilinear structure in a scene. Experimental results on DNA filament and remote sensing images validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm when compared to other recent methods.
