Object contour detection is the fundamental and preprocessing step for multimedia applications such as icon generation, object segmentation, and tracking. The quality of contour prediction is of great importance in these applications since it affects the subsequent process. In this work, we aim to develop a high-performance contour detection system. We first propose a novel yet very effective loss function for contour detection. The proposed loss function is capable of penalizing the distance of contour-structure similarity between each pair of prediction and ground-truth. Moreover, to better distinguishing object contours and background textures, we introduce a novel convolutional encoder-decoder network. Within the network, we present a hyper module that captures dense connections among high-level features and produces effective semantic information. Then the information is progressively propagated and fused with low-level features. We conduct extensive experiments on the BSDS500 and Multi-Cue datasets, the results show significant improvement against the state-of-the-art competitors. We further demonstrate the benefit of our DSCD method for crowd counting.
