Shape symmetry is an important cue for image understanding. In the absence of more detailed prior shape information, segmentation can be significantly facilitated by symmetry. How...
—In this paper, a new binarization algorithm for degraded document images is proposed. The method is based on positive and negative pixel energies using the Laplacian of an image...
Segmentation of surgical devices in fluoroscopic images and in particular of guide-wires is a valuable element during surgery. In cardiac angioplasty, the problem is particularly ...
In this paper, we present a novel localized Markov random field (MRF) method based on superpixels for region segmentation. Early vision problems could be formulated as pixel label...
One of the first steps in iris recognition is isolating (or segmenting) the iris from an image of the subject's eye area. This paper investigates new approaches for locating ...
