In this paper, we propose to combine formally noise and shape priors in region-based active contours. On the one hand, we use the general framework of exponential family as a prio...
Traditional snakes, or active contours, are planar parametric curves. Their parameters are determined by optimizing the weighted sum of three energy terms: one depending on the dat...
This paper presents a new deformable modeling strategy aimed at integrating shape and appearance in a unified space. If we think traditional deformable models as "active cont...
The objective of active recognition is to iteratively collect the next "best" measurements (e.g., camera angles or viewpoints), to maximally reduce ambiguities in recogn...
This paper describes a novel color texture-based image retrieval system for the query of an image database to find similar images to a target image. The retrieval process involves...
