Abstract

We present a novel method for automatic vanishing point detection based on primal and dual point alignment detection. The very same point alignment detection algorithm is used twice: First in the image domain to group line segment endpoints into more precise lines. Second, it is used in the dual domain where converging lines become aligned points. The use of the recently introduced PClines dual spaces and a robust point alignment detector leads to a very accurate algorithm. Experimental results on two public standard datasets show that our method significantly advances the state-of-the-art in the Manhattan world scenario, while producing state-of-the-art performances in non-Manhattan scenes.
