We propose a new approach to compute non-linear, intrinsic shape statistics and to incorporate them into a shape prior for an image segmentation task. Given a sample set of contou...

Abstract. We introduce a non-linear shape prior for the deformable model framework that we learn from a set of shape samples using recent manifold learning techniques. We model a c...
In recent years, the eld of active-contour based image segmentation have seen the emergence of two competing approaches. The rst and oldest approach represents active contours in ...
Traditional snakes, or active contours, are planar parametric curves. Their parameters are determined by optimizing the weighted sum of three energy terms: one depending on the dat...
A variational approach to image or video segmentation consists in defining an energy depending on local or global image characteristics, the minimum of which being reached for ob...
