A fast level set algorithm for shape-based segmentation with multiple selective priors
This paper addresses the shape-based segmentation problem using level sets. In particular, we propose a fast algorithm to solve the piece-wise constant Chan-Vese segmentation mode...

High performance control for graceful motion of an intelligent wheelchair
— To be acceptable to human drivers, the motion of an intelligent robotic wheelchair must be more than just collision-free: it must be graceful. We define graceful motion as bei...
