Image decomposition consists of splitting an image into two or more components. One component is piecewise smooth and models object shapes. Another component consists of the textu...
Anatomical objects often have complex and varying image appearance at different portions of the boundary; and it is frequently a challenge even to select appropriate scales at whic...
Active contour and surface models, also known as deformable models, constitute a class of powerful segmentation techniques. Geometric deformable models implemented via level-set m...
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...
This paper proposes a statistic framework for segmenting textured areas over real images by discriminant snakes. Our active contour model has the ability to learn different textur...
