Video segmentation is among the most important challenges of video processing and compression (MPEG-4 and MPEG-7). A drawback of classical methods is the computational cost due to...
Active contours is a popular technique for image segmentation.
However, active contour tend to converge to the
closest local minimum of its energy function and often requires
a ...
We present a region-based active contour detection algorithm
for objects that exhibit relatively homogeneous photometric
characteristics (e.g. smooth color or gray levels),
embe...

In this paper, we describe a new region-based approach to active contours for segmenting images composed of two or three types of regions characterizable by a given statistic. The...
In this paper we present a novel method for tracking contour of a moving rigid object in natural video sequences from a mobile camera. While a mobile camera is keeping track of a m...
