This paper presents a technique for the segmentation of anatomic structures in medical images using a topologically adaptable snakes model. The model is set in the framework of dom...
The presence of speckle in ultrasound images makes it hard to segment them using active contours. Speckle causes the energy function of the active contours to have many local minim...
Abstract. This paper presents a novel approach for image segmentation by introducing competition between neighboring shape models. Our method is motivated by the observation that e...

In this paper we address the problem of extracting geometric models from low contrast volumetric images, given a template or reference shape of that model. We proceed by deforming...
