Abstract
In this paper we propose a new technique for outlines of objects detection. We exploit the set of contours computed using the image analogies principle. A set of artificial patterns are used to locate contours of any query image, each one permits the location of contours corresponding to a specific intensity variation. We studied these contours and a theoretical foundation is proposed to explain the slow motion of these contours around regions boundaries. Experiments are conducted and the obtained results are presented and discussed.
