This paper presents the incorporation of a new internal force for active contours. This internal force is generated by an electric charge, distributed all-over the active contour....
Abstract--In this paper, we propose a natural framework that allows any region-based segmentation energy to be re-formulated in a local way. We consider local rather than global im...
This paper investigates novel LBP-guided active contour approaches to texture segmentation. The Local Binary Pattern (LBP) operator is well suited for texture representation, comb...

Recently proposed Sobolev active contours introduced a new paradigm for minimizing energies defined on curves by changing the traditional cost of perturbing a curve and thereby red...

In this paper, we propose a new variational model to segment an object belonging to a given shape space using the active contour method, a geometric shape prior and the Mumford-Sha...

In this paper we apply a new data driven 3D prediction step for active contour models to car tracking on highways. The so called 3D bounding volume (BV) is a coarse 3D representat...
This paper presents a new approach to automated muscle fiber analysis based on segmenting myofibers with combined region and edge based active contours. It provides reliable and fu...

We describe an approach for extracting threedimensional articulated motion from unrestricted monocular video sequences. We combine feature extraction methods based on active conto...

In this paper, we propose a new model for active contours to detect objects in a given image, based on techniques of curve evolution, Mumford-Shah functional for segmentation and l...
