Performing segmentation of narrow, elongated structures with low contrast boundaries is a challenging problem. Boundaries of these structures are difficult to be located when noise...
Several geometric active contour models have been proposed for segmentation in computer vision. The essential idea is to evolve a curve (in 2D) or a surface (in 3D) under constrai...
We introduce a novel statistical deformable model called SAMTUS for the segmentation of soft tissue tubular structures. The model is composed of an assembly of statistically defor...
Segmentation in volumetric images deals with separating `objects' from their `background' in a given 3D data. Usually, one starts with `edge detectors' that give bi...
In this paper, we propose a fully automatic method for the coupled 3D localization and segmentation of lower abdomen structures. We apply it to the joint segmentation of the prosta...
