Abstract
We present a new optimization based parsing framework for the geometric analysis of a single image coming from a manmade environment This framework models the scene as a composition of geometric primitives spanning different layers from low level edges through midlevel lines segments lines and vanishing points to high level the zenith and the horizon The inference in such a model thus jointly and simultaneously estimates a the grouping of edges into the line segments b the grouping of line segments into the straight lines c the grouping of lines into parallel families and d the positioning of the horizon and the zenith in the image Such a unified treatment means that the uncertainty information propagates between the layers of the model This is in contrast to most previous approaches to the same problem which either ignore the middle levels line segments or lines all together or use the bottomup stepbystep pipelineFor the evaluation we consider a publicly available York Urban dataset of “Manhattan” scenes and also introduce a new harder dataset of 103 urban outdoor images containing many nonManhattan scenes The comparative evaluation for the horizon estimation task demonstrate higher accuracy and robustness attained by our method when compared to the current stateoftheart approaches
