Most image segmentation algorithms optimize some mathematical similarity criterion derived from several low-level image features. One possible way of combining different types of f...
Active appearance models (AAMs) provide a framework for modeling the joint shape and texture of an image. An AAM is a compact representation of both factors in a conditionally lin...
This paper proposes a method for detecting object classes that exhibit variable shape structure in heavily cluttered images. The term "variable shape structure" is used t...

Unsupervised over-segmentation of an image into superpixels
is a common preprocessing step for image parsing
algorithms. Superpixels are used as both regions of support
for feat...

We study the problem of segmenting multiple cell nuclei from GFP or Hoechst stained microscope images with a shape prior. This problem is encountered ubiquitously in cell biology ...
