Implicit surface segmentation by minimal paths, applications in 3D medical images
In this paper we introduce a novel edge-based, implicit approach for single object segmentation in 3D images. From a couple of curves, traced by the user on the object to be segme...

Minimization of detail-preserving regularization functional by Newton's method with continuation
Abstract-- Recently, a two-phase scheme for removing saltand-pepper impulse noise has been proposed [14]. In the first phase, an adaptive median filter is used to identify pixels w...
