We have been developing a stochastic model for figure-ground separation[9][3][12]. The model selects/constructs theforeground with preferenceforfigures with "moreconvex"...
Shape symmetry is an important cue for image understanding. In the absence of more detailed prior shape information, segmentation can be significantly facilitated by symmetry. How...
Abstract. Distinguished regions can be detected with high repeatability in different images of the same scene. Two definitions of distinguished regions of an image in a mathemati...
This paper presents an interactive image segmentation framework which is ultra-fast and accurate. Our framework, termed "CO3", consists of three components: COupled repr...
In this paper, we present a new method for detecting curvilinear structures and reconstructing their regions in gray-scale images. The concept of skeleton extraction is introduced...
