This paper presents a new image segmentation framework which employs a shape prior in the form of an edge strength function to introduce a higher-level influence on the segmentati...
Abstract. Deformable models are by their formulation able to solve surface extraction problem from noisy volumetric images. This is since they use image independent information, in...
Many techniques of knowledge-based segmentation consist of building statistical models that describe the deformations of the structure of interest, and then fit these models to t...

We combine a new user initialization process with a B-spline snake to create a model with the properties of a deformable template. This `template' snake can be constrained by ...
This paper presents a statistical shape model for automatic skull stripping of MR brain images. A surface model of the brain boundary is hierarchically represented by a set of ove...
