This paper introduces a novel solver, namely cross entropy (CE), into the MRF theory for medical image segmentation. The solver, which is based on the theory of rare event simulati...
A novel method is introduced to force a geometric-based snake be more tolerant towards weak edges and noise in images. The method integrates gradient flow forces with region cons...
In this paper, we propose a new nonparametric region-based active contour model for clutter image segmentation. To quantify the similarity between two clutter regions, we propose t...
Abstract. In this paper we propose a supervised method for the segmentation of masses in mammographic images. The algorithm starts with a selected pixel inside the mass, which has ...
This paper presents a novel method for image classification. It differs from previous approaches by computing image similarity based on region matching. Firstly, the images to be ...
