— An active cannula is a medical device composed of thin, pre-curved, telescoping tubes that may enable many new surgical procedures. Planning optimal motions for these devices i...
This paper introduces a novel energy minimization method, namely iterated cross entropy with partition strategy (ICEPS), into the Markov random field theory. The solver, which is...
Abstract. Moving objects detection is a crucial step for video surveillance systems. The segmentation performed by motion detection algorithms is often noisy, which makes it hard t...
In this paper, a mean shift-based clustering algorithm is proposed. The mean shift is a kernel-type weighted mean procedure. Herein, we first discuss three classes of Gaussian, C...
We recently introduced the watershed cuts, a notion of watershed in edge-weighted graphs. In this paper, our main contribution is a thinning paradigm from which we derive three alg...
