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...
Active models are widely used in applications like image segmentation and tracking. Region-based active models are known for robustness to weak edges and high computational comple...

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

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...
