We present a new object segmentation method that is based on geodesic active contours with combined shape and appearance priors. It is known that using shape priors can significan...
Abstract. In this paper we propose a new variational framework for image segmentation that incorporates the information of expected shape and a few points on the boundary into geod...

A novel method of incorporating shape information into the image segmentation process is presented. We introduce a representation for deformable shapes and define a probability di...

Active contours are adapted to image segmentation by energy minimization. The energies often exhibit local minima, requiring regularization. Such an a priori can be expressed as a...

In this paper, we propose to combine formally noise and shape priors in region-based active contours. On the one hand, we use the general framework of exponential family as a prio...
