Probabilistic models are extensively used in medical image segmentation. Most of them employ parametric representations of densities and make idealizing assumptions, e.g. normal di...
In recent years Kernel Principal Component Analysis (Kernel PCA) has gained much attention because of its ability to capture nonlinear image features, which are particularly impor...
In this paper we focus on using local 3D structure for segmentation. A tensor descriptor is estimated for each neighbourhood, i.e. for each voxel in the data set. The tensors are ...

Abstract--An active shape model segmentation scheme is presented that is steered by optimal local features, contrary to normalized first order derivative profiles, as in the origin...

In this paper we propose a novel framework for efficiently extracting foreground objects in so called shortbaseline image sequences. We apply the obtained segmentation to improve...
