Active contours are adapted to image segmentation by energy minimization. The energies often exhibit local minima, requiring regularization. Such an a priori can be expressed as a...

This paper proposes to use the Laplace-Beltrami spectrum (LBS) as a global shape descriptor for medical shape analysis, allowing for shape comparisons using minimal shape preproces...

Incorporating shape priors in image segmentation has become a key problem in computer vision. Most existing work is limited to a linearized shape space with small deformation modes...
