Abstract. Segmentation of images is often posed as a variational problem. As such, it is solved by formulating an energy functional depending on a contour and other image derived t...
Abstract. This paper presents a novel approach for object segmentation in medical images that respects the topological relationships of multiple structures as given by a template. ...
An image based model reconstruction system is described. Real images of a rigid object acquired under a simple but controlled environment are used to recover the three dimensional...
This paper presents a method that combines graphbased segmentation and multistage region merging to segment laparoscopic images. Starting with image preprocessing, including Gauss...
Imaging in poor weather is often severely degraded by scattering due to suspended particles in the atmosphere such as haze and fog. In this paper, we propose a novel fast defoggin...
