Retrieval of similar heart sounds from a sound database has applications in physician training, diagnostic screening, and decision support. In this paper, we exploit a visual rende...
The main question we address is: what is the minimal information required to generate closed, non-intersecting planar boundaries? For this paper we restrict ‘shape’ to this mea...
Abstract. In this work, we present two active shape models for the segmentation of tubular objects. The first model is built using cylindrical parameterization and minimum descrip...
Abstract. In this paper we propose a new variational framework for image segmentation that incorporates the information of expected shape and a few points on the boundary into geod...

An algebraic curve is defined as the zero set of a polynomial in two variables. Algebraic curves are practical for modeling shapes much more complicated than conics or su...
