Model-based segmentation approaches, such as those employing Active Shape Models (ASMs), have proved to be useful for medical image segmentation and understanding. To build the mo...
Edit distance matching has been used in literature for word spotting with characters taken as primitives. The recognition rate however, is limited by the segmentation inconsistenci...
In many visual tracking and surveillance systems, it is important to initialize a background model using a training video sequence which may include foreground objects. In such a c...
This paper addresses variational supervised texture segmentation. The main contributions are twofold. First, the proposed method circumvents a major problem related to classical t...
Color and color neighborhood statistics have been used extensively in image matching and retrieval. However, the effective incorporation of color layout information remains a chal...
