Performing segmentation of narrow, elongated structures with low contrast boundaries is a challenging problem. Boundaries of these structures are difficult to be located when noise...
This paper addresses the “boundary ownership” problem,
also known as the figure/ground assignment problem.
Estimating boundary ownerships is a key step in perceptual
organiz...
We present a novel histogram method for statistically characterizing the appearance of deformable models. In deformable model segmentation, appearance models measure the likelihoo...

Bayesian statistical theory is a convenient way of taking a priori information into consideration when inference is made from images. In Bayesian image detection, the a priori dist...
