Snakes, or active contours, are used extensively in
computer vision and image processing applications, particularly
to locate object boundaries. Problems associated with initiali...
— 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...
Abstract. We present a segmentation method for vessels using an implicit deformable model with a soft shape prior. Blood vessels are challenging structures to segment due to their ...
Convex and continuous energy formulations for low level
vision problems enable efficient search procedures for the
corresponding globally optimal solutions. In this work we
exte...

In this contribution we introduce the Shape Flow algorithm (SF), a novel method for spatio-temporal 3D pose estimation of a 3D parametric curve. The SF is integrated into a tracki...
