In this paper we present a general framework for object detection and segmentation. Using a bottom-up unsupervised merging algorithm, a region-based hierarchy that represents the ...
In this paper, we present a new method for segmenting closed contours and surfaces. Our work builds on a variant of the Fast Marching algorithm. First, an initial point on the des...
We address the issue of low-level segmentation of vector-valued images, focusing on the case of color natural images. The proposed approach relies on the formulation of the problem...
Active contour and active polygon models have been used widely for image segmentation. In some applications, the topology of the object(s) to be detected from an image is known a ...
It is presented in this paper a new approach to the problem of feature extraction. The approach is based on the edge detection, where a set of feature vectors is taken from the sou...
