Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new method to characterise a curve by means of the hierarchical computation of a multiresolution structure. This structure, consisting of successive lower resolution versions of the same object, is processed using the linked pyramid approach. We adapt the multiresolution pixel linking algorithm to the processing of curve contours which are described by their chain-code. We also introduce a selective class selection process which allows application of the algorithm to segmentation and detection of contour features. The resulting framework presents good performance for a wide range of object sizes without the need of any parameter tweaking, and allows detection of shape detail at different scales.
