— Ultrasound images segmentation is a difficult problem due to speckle noise, low contrast and local changes of intensity. Intensity based methods do not perform particularly we...

In this paper we propose an active contour model for segmentation based on the Chan-Vese model. The new model can capture inherent sharp features, i.e., the sharp corners of object...
In current level set image segmentation methods, the number of regions is assumed to known beforehand. As a result, it remains constant during the optimization of the objective fun...
We propose a novel approach for shape-based segmentation based on a specially designed level set function format. This format permits us to better control the process of object re...
The segmentation and analysis of blood vessels has received much attention in the research community. The results aid numerous applications for diagnosis and treatment of vascular...
