In this paper, we present a region-based deformable cylinder model, extending the work on classical region-based active contours and gradient-based ribbon snakes. Defined by a cent...
—Spinal cord analysis is an important problem in the study of various neurological diseases. Current segmentation and analysis methods in clinical use are slow and laborintensive...

In this paper, a hybrid medical image segmentation approach is proposed based on a dual front evolution and fast sweeping evolution. This approach is composed of two stages. In th...
We introduce a morphological approach to curve evolution. The
differential operators used in the standard PDE snake models can be
approached using morphological operations...

This paper presents a semi-automatic method for the segmentation and the tracking of the mitral valve leaflet in transesophageal echocardiography. We use two connected active cont...
