This paper proposes a novel method for segmenting lips from face images or video sequences. A non-linear learning method in the form of an SVM classifier is trained to recognise l...
Lips segmentation is a very important step in many applications such as automatic speech reading, MPEG-4 compression, special effects, facial analysis and emotion recognition. In ...

Abstract. A novel approach for model set based object segmentation is described. The proposed method enables the using of a model set to guide the object segmentation. The object s...
In this paper, we propose to use an active contour method to attract active surfaces towards non-smoothed segmentation masks. To achieve this task, we introduce a new region-based...
Segmentation of ancient documents is challenging. In the worst cases, text characters become fragmented as the results of strong degradation processes. New active contour methods ...
