This paper presents a method that combines graphbased segmentation and multistage region merging to segment laparoscopic images. Starting with image preprocessing, including Gauss...
In this paper, we propose a modification to the Boykov-Kolmogorov maximum flow algorithm [2] in order to make the algorithm preserve the topology of an initial interface. This alg...
Abstract. A new algorithm for interactive image segmentation is proposed. Besides the traditional appearance and gradient information, a new Generic Shape Prior (GSP) knowledge whi...
Bone mineral density (BMD) measurements and fracture analysis of the spine bones are restricted to the Vertebral bodies (VBs). In this paper, we propose a novel 3D shape based met...
