Due to the presence of speckle, segmentation of SAR images is generally acknowledged as a difficult problem. A large effort has been done in order to cope with the influence of sp...
Both graphic text and scene text detection in video images with complex background and low resolution is still a challenging and interesting problem for researchers in the field o...
This paper presents a semi-automatic method for tracking the mitral valve leaflet in transesophageal echocardiography. The algorithm requires a manual initialization and then segme...
Lip segmentation is an essential stage in many multimedia systems such as videoconferencing, lip reading, or low bit rate coding communication systems. In this paper, we propose a...
Abstract--We propose an approach to accurately detecting twodimensional (2-D) shapes. The cross section of the shape boundary is modeled as a step function. We first derive a one-d...
