We present novel approaches for fully automated extraction of tree-like tubular structures from 3-D image stacks. A 4-D Open-Curve Active Contour (Snake) model is proposed for sim...
Active contour formulations predominate current minimization of the Mumford-Shah functional (MSF) for image segmentation and filtering. Unfortunately, these formulations necessitat...
A new boundary detection approach for shape modeling is presented. It detects the global minimum of an active contour model's energy between two end points. Initialization is ...
Geometric active contours are formulated in a manner which is parametrization independent. As such, they are amenable to representation as the zero level set of the graph of a hig...

A dual active contour can use two snakes to seek an energy minimum which lies between their initial positions. This relieves problems associated with initialisation. The contracti...
