Lip Contour Segmentation Using Kernel Methods and Level Sets
This paper proposes a novel method for segmenting lips from face images or video sequences. A non-linear learning method in the form of an SVM classifier is trained to recognise l...

Untangling Cycles for Contour Grouping
We introduce a novel topological formulation for contour grouping. Our grouping criterion, called untangling cycles, exploits the inherent topological 1D structure of salient cont...

Minimization of Region-Scalable Fitting Energy for Image Segmentation
Intensity inhomogeneities often occur in real-world images and may cause considerable difficulties in image segmentation. In order to overcome the difficulties caused by intensity ...

2D Nonrigid Partial Shape Matching Using MCMC and Contour Subdivision
Shape matching has many applications in computer vision, such as shape classification, object recognition, object detection, and localization. In 2D cases, shape instances are 2D c...
