A common problem in most active contour methods is that the recursive searching scheme can only return a local optimal solution. Furthermore, the internal energy of the snake is n...
Recently, nonlinear shape models have been shown to improve the robustness and flexibility of segmentation. In this paper, we propose Shape Regularized Active Contour (ShRAC) that...
Lip tracking is crucial to the success of a lipreading recognition system. This paper presents a robust lip tracking algorithm using localized color active contours and deformable...
Active models are widely used in applications like image segmentation and tracking. Region-based active models are known for robustness to weak edges and high computational comple...
