We propose a multiscale extension of a well-known line segment detector, LSD. We show that its multiscale nature makes it much less susceptible to over-segmentation and more robust to low contrast and less sensitive to noise, while keeping the parameter-less advantage of LSD and still being fast. We also present here a dense gradient filter that disregards regions in which lines are likely to be irrelevant. As it reduces line mismatches, this filter improves the robustness of the application to structure-from-motion. It also yields a faster detection.
