A topological flexibility of implicit active contours is of great benefit, since it allows simultaneous detection of several objects without any a priori knowledge about their num...
Snakes, or active contours, have been widely used in image processing applications. Typical roadblocks to consistent performance include limited capture range, noise sensitivity, ...
We propose an extension of the conformal (or geodesic) active contour framework in which the conformal factor depends not only on the position of the curve but also on the directi...
This paper describes a method for detecting automobiles and people in streaming or archived video. Our video object tracking system is based on Kalman filter updating of an active...
Network snakes constitute one of the latest advances in the research of image segmentation techniques: they integrate topology into active contour models. This concept is applied t...
