Abstract. The complexity of visual representations is substantially limited by the compositional nature of our visual world which, therefore, renders learning structured object mod...
In this paper, we present a novel active contour model, in which the traditional gradient descent optimization is replaced by graph cut optimization. The basic idea is to first de...
