Device for detecting an edge using segmentation information and method thereof

Abstract

An edge detecting device includes a feature extracting circuit configured to extract first and second feature data from an input image; a prototype generating circuit configured to generate prototype data using the first feature data and an input label, the prototype data including foreground and background information of an object; a region detecting circuit configured to generate a segmentation mask by detecting a region of an object using the first feature data and the prototype data; and an edge extracting circuit configured to generate an edge map by combining the segmentation mask and the second feature data.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
