通过灯塔引导结构推理,提升骨骼检测的连续性与完整性。
Topology-Aware Skeleton Detection via Lighthouse-Guided Structured Inference
- 双分支协同框架同时学习骨骼置信度场与关键结构点。
- 在四个数据集上显著提升骨骼连通性,断裂段恢复率更高。
- 适合需要完整几何结构的任务,如姿态分析与形状识别。
自然图像中的物体骨骼用于表示几何形状。然而,姿态或运动的微小变化会导致骨骼结构明显改变,增加检测难度,常导致骨骼不连续。现有方法主要关注点级骨骼点检测,忽视了结构连续性对完整骨骼恢复的重要性。为此,我们提出Lighthouse-Skel,一种基于灯塔引导结构推理的拓扑感知骨骼检测方法。具体地,设计双分支协同检测框架,联合学习骨骼置信度场与结构锚点(包括端点和连接点)。点分支学习的空间分布引导网络聚焦于拓扑脆弱区域,提升检测精度。基于学习到的骨骼置信度场,进一步提出灯塔引导的拓扑补全策略,以检测到的连接点和断点为灯塔,沿低代价路径重新连接不连续骨骼段,从而增强骨骼连通性与结构完整性。在四个公开数据集上的实验结果表明,该方法在保持竞争力检测准确率的同时,显著提升了骨骼连通性与结构完整性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In natural images, object skeletons are used to represent geometric shapes. However, even slight variations in pose or movement can cause noticeable changes in skeleton structure, increasing the difficulty of detecting the skeleton and often resulting in discontinuous skeletons. Existing methods primarily focus on point-level skeleton point detection and overlook the importance of structural continuity in recovering complete skeletons. To address this issue, we propose Lighthouse-Skel, a topology-aware skeleton detection method via lighthouse-guided structured inference. Specifically, we introduce a dual-branch collaborative detection framework that jointly learns skeleton confidence field and structural anchors, including endpoints and junction points. The spatial distributions learned by the point branch guide the network to focus on topologically vulnerable regions, which improves the accuracy of skeleton detection. Based on the learned skeleton confidence field, we further propose a lighthouse-guided topology completion strategy, which uses detected junction points and breakpoints as lighthouses to reconnect discontinuous skeleton segments along low-cost paths, thereby improving skeleton continuity and structural integrity. Experimental results on four public datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves competitive detection accuracy while substantially improving skeleton connectivity and structural integrity.
