Segmentation of medical images is challenging due to poor image contrast and artifacts that result in missing or diffuse organ/tissue boundaries. Consequently, this task involves ...
Abstract— We describe a framework for detecting and tracking continuous ”trails” in images and image sequences for autonomous robot navigation. Continuous trails are extended...
Medial axis transform (MAT) is a basic tool for shape analysis. But, in spite of its usefulness, it has some drawbacks, one of which is its instability under the boundary perturba...
Applications such as layered manufacturing, or in general, solid free-form fabrication, pose a major challenge on online process control. For these parts to be functional, it is i...
