Abstract. We present a machine learning approach called shape regression machine (SRM) to segmenting in real time an anatomic structure that manifests a deformable shape in a medic...
We construct a Bayesian model that integrates topdown with bottom-up criteria, capitalizing on their relative merits to obtain figure-ground segmentation that is shape-specific an...
Shape symmetry is an important cue for image understanding. In the absence of more detailed prior shape information, segmentation can be significantly facilitated by symmetry. How...
Global gray-level thresholding techniques such as Otsu’s method, and local gray-level thresholding techniques such as adaptive thresholding method are powerful in extracting cha...
Object detection in cluttered, natural scenes has a high
complexity since many local observations compete for object
hypotheses. Voting methods provide an efficient solution
