Model-based segmentation approaches, such as those employing Active Shape Models (ASMs), have proved to be useful for medical image segmentation and understanding. To build the mo...
— A number of active contour models have been proposed that unify the curve evolution framework with classical energy minimization techniques for segmentation, such as snakes. Th...
Different materials reflect light in different ways, so reflectance is a useful surface descriptor. Existing systems for measuring reflectance are cumbersome, however, and although...
We introduce two fourth-order regularization methods that remove geometric noise without destroying significant geometric features. These methods leverage ideas from image denoisi...
Snakes, or active contours, are used extensively in
computer vision and image processing applications, particularly
to locate object boundaries. Problems associated with initiali...
