Active contours is a popular technique for image segmentation.
However, active contour tend to converge to the
closest local minimum of its energy function and often requires
a ...
Segmentation involves separating distinct regions in an image. In this note, we present a novel variational approach to perform this task. We propose an energy functional that nat...

In this paper we introduce new type of variational segmentation cost functions and associated active contour methods that are based on pairwise similarities or dissimilarities of t...
In recent years, the eld of active-contour based image segmentation have seen the emergence of two competing approaches. The rst and oldest approach represents active contours in ...
