Given an m-dimensional surface in Rn , we characterize parametric curves in , which interpolate or approximate a sequence of given points pi and minimize a given energy functio...
(A) The celebrated Gaussian quadrature formula on finite intervals tells us that the Gauss nodes are the zeros of the unique solution of an extremal problem. We announce recent re...
Most variational active contour models are designed to find the “desirable” local minima of data-dependent energy functionals with the hope of avoiding undesirable configurat...
This paper introduces a novel approach to the problem of active contour-based segmentation through the use of complexvalued wavelets. In traditional active contour-based segmentat...
We introduce a framework for modeling spatial patterns of shapes formed by multiple objects in an image. Our approach is graph-based where each node denotes an object and attribut...
