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...
Active shape models are a powerful and widely used tool to interpret complex image data. By building models of shape variation they enable search algorithms to use a priori knowle...
Active contour (snake) approaches have been proved to be efficient tools to extract object boundary precisely. One drawback of these methods is that state-of-the-art snake algorit...
Lip segmentation is an essential stage in many multimedia systems such as videoconferencing, lip reading, or low bit rate coding communication systems. In this paper, we propose a...
Segmentation in volumetric images deals with separating `objects' from their `background' in a given 3D data. Usually, one starts with `edge detectors' that give bi...
