— A number of active contour models have been proposed that unify the curve evolution framework with classical energy minimization techniques for segmentation, such as snakes. Th...
Fundamental to any graph cut segmentation methods is the assignment of edge weights. The existing solutions typically use gaussian, exponential or rectangular cost functions with ...
An interactive framework for soft segmentation and matting of natural images and videos is presented in this paper. The proposed technique is based on the optimal, linear time, co...
Abstract. Image segmentation is essential for many automated microscopy image analysis systems. Rather than treating microscopy images as general natural images and rushing into th...
This paper presents a probabilistic algorithm for segmenting and recognizing text embedded in video sequences. The algorithm approximates the posterior distribution of segmentatio...
