Abstract
We present a new technique for edge based segmentation, which is fast and accurate even in the presence of nested contours. The shape characteristics of the contours are perfectly recovered, with no smoothing, and only closed contours are returned; this leads to a well-defined segmentation of the images. The algorithm is easily parallelizable, and is well-suitable for specialized, real time hardware. Experimental results are presented, in comparison with the Canny algorithm (J.F. Canny, 1986)
