Globally Optimal Active Contours, Sequential Monte Carlo and On-Line Learning for Vessel Segmentation
In this paper we propose a Particle Filter-based propagation approach for the segmentation of vascular structures in 3D volumes. Because of pathologies and inhomogeneities, many de...

Object Detection by Contour Segment Networks
We propose a method for object detection in cluttered real images, given a single hand-drawn example as model. The image edges are partitioned into contour segments and organized i...

Resolution-Aware Fitting of Active Appearance Models to Low Resolution Images
Abstract. Active Appearance Models (AAM) are compact representations of the shape and appearance of objects. Fitting AAMs to images is a difficult, non-linear optimization task. Tr...

Extending Kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis with the Weighted Pairwise Chernoff Criterion
Many linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and kernel Fisher discriminant analysis (KFD) methods are based on the restrictive assumption that the data are homoscedastic. In this paper...
