Abstract
An approach is provided for generating a polyline from line segments (e.g., line segments representing objects detected by a computer vision system). The approach involves selecting a line segment from a plurality of line segments. The approach also involves determining a neighboring line segment from among the plurality of line segments. The determined neighboring line segment has a closest distance to the line segment from among the plurality of line segments. The approach further involves merging the line segment and the neighboring line segment into a polyline based on determining that the closest distance is a mutual closest distance between line segment and the neighboring line segment.
