Description
Summary:This work describes DexiNed, a Dense Extreme Inception Network for Edge Detection proposed by Xavier Soria, Edgar Riba and Angel Sappa in [IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV), 2020]. The network is organized in blocks that extract edges at different resolutions, which are then merged to produce a multiscale edge map. For training, the authors introduced an annotated dataset (BIPED) specifically designed for edge detection. We perform a brief analysis of the results produced by DexiNed, highlighting its quality but also indicating its limitations. Overall, DexiNed produces state-of-the-art results.
