摘要

Ellipse detection is a critical task in computer vision with applications ranging from medical imaging to traffic sign recognition. Despite significant advancements, achieving accurate ellipse detection under challenging conditions remains a formidable challenge. This paper introduces BEANet, a novel boundary-enhanced attention network designed specifically for precise ellipse detection. BEANet incorporates a boundary-enhanced attention module that emphasizes informative boundary features, thereby improving the accuracy of ellipse regression. To address boundary discontinuity issues in ellipse angle regression, we propose a periodic angular loss and utilize the Gaussian Wasserstein Distance loss to enhance geometric stability. Experiments on the public GED dataset demonstrate that BEANet outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods, achieving up to 9.94% higher average precision. Our results highlight the effectiveness of our approach in detecting ellipses under complex conditions, paving the way for more robust and accurate ellipse detection in various applications.
