A new boundary detection approach for shape modeling is presented. It detects the global minimum of an active contour model's energy between two end points. Initialization is ...
This paper introduces the use of spatially adaptive components into the geodesic active contour segmentation method for application to volumetric medical images. These components a...

This paper proposes a novel approach to segment three dimensional curvilinear structures, particularly vessels in angiography, by inspecting the symmetry of image gradients. The pr...
This paper addresses the problem of finding objects made of glass (or other transparent materials) in images. Since the appearance of glass objects depends for the most part on wha...
In this paper, we propose to combine formally noise and shape priors in region-based active contours. On the one hand, we use the general framework of exponential family as a prio...
