A system and method for obtaining salient contours from two-dimensional images acquired by a sensor (15) is disclosed which process the two-dimensional images with an edge detector (20) to produce edgels from each of the images, link the edgels into lists (25) known as contours, compute a saliency value (30) for each of the contours, rank the contours (60) in decreasing order of saliency, and select certain ones of the ranked contours based on the requirements of a particular vision application (65). Other devices, systems and methods are also disclosed. <IMAGE> |
