This presentation will describe an approach based on the shortest path method
for the detection and tracking of vibrating lines. The detection and tracking
of
vibrating structures, such as lines and cables, is of great importance in areas
such as civil engineering, but the specificities of these scenarios make it a
hard problem to tackle. We propose a two-step approach consisting of line
detection and subsequent tracking. The automatic detection of the lines avoids
manual initialization - a typical problem of these scenarios - and favors
tracking. The additional information provided by the line detection enables the
improvement of existing algorithms and extends their application to a larger
set
of scenarios.
