Active contour and active polygon models have been used widely for image segmentation. In some applications, the topology of the object(s) to be detected from an image is known a ...
Abstract. We present an algorithm to generate samples from probability distributions on the space of curves. We view a traditional curve evolution energy functional as a negative l...

In this paper, we propose to focus on the segmentation of vectorial features (e.g. vector fields or color intensity) using region-based active contours. We search for a domain that...
Abstract. This paper presents a general framework to segment curvilinear objects in 2D images. A pre-processing step relies on mathematical morphology to obtain a connected line wh...
Abstract. This paper presents a new and integrated approach to automatic 3D brain vessel segmentation using physics-based statistical models of background and vascular signals, and...
