We present a modification of the Mumford-Shah functional and its cartoon limit which facilitates the incorporation of a statistical prior on the shape of the segmenting contour. By...
Automated medical image segmentation is a challenging task that benefits from the use of effective image appearance models. In this paper, we compare appearance models at three reg...

Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBM) are well-studied generative models. For image data, however, standard RBMs are suboptimal, since they do not exploit the local nature of image ...
— Automatic identification and extraction of bone contours from x-ray images is an essential first step task for further medical image analysis. In this paper we propose a 3D s...
We derive a probabilistic multi-scale model for contour completion based on image statistics. The boundaries of human segmented images are used as "ground truth". A prob...
