Abstract

This work describes the HED method for edge detection. HED uses a neural network based on a VGG16 backbone, supplemented with some extra layers for merging the results at different scales. The training was performed on an augmented version of the BSDS500 dataset. We perform a brief analysis of the results produced by HED, highlighting its quality but also indicating its limitations. Overall, HED produces state-of-the-art results.
