Abstract. There is a huge diversity of definitions of "visually meaningful" image segments, ranging from simple uniformly colored segments, textured segments, through sym...
Active contours or snakes have been extensively utilized in handling image segmentation and classification problems. In traditional active contour models, snake initialization is ...
—Unsupervised image segmentation is an important component in many image understanding algorithms and practical vision systems. However, evaluation of segmentation algorithms thu...
Previous works on range image segmentation concentrate on surface patches that can be well represented by certain mathematical functions. In this paper we consider the more qualit...
