2. Pytorch functions for contour feature extraction.

• Area
• Perimeter
• Curvature
• Hausdorff distance

3. Function for NumPy arrays only to remove loops inside contours and interpolate along the given contours.

Pytorch Layers

This library contains 3 pytorch non trainable layers for performing the differentiable operations of :

1. Contour to mask
2. Contour to distance map.
3. Draw contour.
4. Contour to isolines
5. Smooth contour

It can therefore be used to transform a polygon into a binary mask/distance map/ drawn contour in a completely differentiable way.
In particular, it can be used to transform the detection task into a segmentation task or do detection with any polygon.
The layers in 1, 2, 3 use the nice property of polygons such that for any point inside the sum of oriented angle is $\pm 2\pi$ and quickly converge towards 0 outside.
The three layers have no learnable weight.
All they do is to apply a function in a differentiable way.

Input (Float) (layer 1, 2, 3, 4, 5):

A list of polygons of shape $B \times N \times K \times 2$ with:

• $B$ the batch size
• $N$ the number of polygons for each image
• $K$ the number of nodes for each polygon

Output (Float) (layer 1, 2, 3):

A mask/distance map/contour drawn of shape $B \times N \times H \times H$ with :

• $B$ the batch size
• $N$ the number of polygons for each image
• $H$ the Heigh of the distance map or mask

Output (Float) (layer 4):

Isolines of shape $B \times N \times I \times H \times H$ with :

• $B$ the batch size
• $N$ the number of polygons for each image
• $I$ the number of isolines to extract for each image
• $H$ the Heigh of the distance map or mask

Output (Float) (layer 5):

Contours of shape $B \times N \times K \times 2$ with :

• $B$ the batch size
• $N$ the number of polygons for each image
• $K$ the number of nodes for each polygon

Important:

The polygon must have values between 0 and 1.
