Abstract

Wire detection is often based on line structure. This research investigates the use of ellipse feature to detect surface laid and shallowly buried wires. A wire has non-negligible diameter and elliptical shape appears in its cross-section image. After filtering and edge detection in the cross-section image, ellipse fitting is applied to obtain an ellipse feature for indicating how well the shape fits to an ellipse. Experimental results of the ellipse fitting technique are presented for the detection of wires and their discrimination with clutter objects.
