Topology-Aware Skeleton Detection via Lighthouse-Guided Structured Inference

ArXi:2604.20123v1 Announce Type: new In natural images, object skeletons are used to represent geometric shapes. However, even slight variations in pose or movement can cause noticeable changes in skeleton structure, increasing the difficulty of detecting the skeleton and often resulting in discontinuous skeletons. Existing methods primarily focus on point-level skeleton point detection and overlook the importance of structural continuity in recovering complete skeletons.
