We present a graph-based contour extraction algorithm for images with low contrast regions and faint contours. Our innovation consists of a new graph setup that exploits complementary information given by region segmentation and contour grouping. The information of the most salient region segments is combined together with the edge map obtained from the responses of an oriented filter bank. This enables us to define a new contour flow on the graph nodes, which captures region membership and enhances the flow in the low contrast or cluttered regions. The graph setup and our proposed region based normalization give rise to a random walk that allows bifurcations at junctions arising between region boundaries and favors long closed contours. Junctions become key routing points and the resulting contours enclose globally significant regions.
