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 ...
We propose a novel energy term to make the curve evolution quite robust to spurious edges. The physical intuition behind the formulation is that an object edge is generally contin...
Abstract--Manual quantitative analysis of cardiac left ventricular function using Multislice CT and MR is arduous because of the large data volume. In this paper, we present a 3-D ...

Snakes, or active contours, are used extensively in computer
vision and image processing applications, particularly
to locate object boundaries. Problems associated with
initial...
We present a model of a `gas of circles', the ensemble of regions in the image domain consisting of an unknown number of circles with approximately fixed radius and short ran...
