Lip Contour Segmentation Using Kernel Methods and Level Sets
This paper proposes a novel method for segmenting lips from face images or video sequences. A non-linear learning method in the form of an SVM classifier is trained to recognise l...

Smoothing with Active Surfaces: A Multiphase Level Set Approach
In this paper, we propose to use an active contour method to attract active surfaces towards non-smoothed segmentation masks. To achieve this task, we introduce a new region-based...

Restoration and Segmentation of Highly Degraded Characters Using a Shape-Independent Level Set Approach and Multi-level Classifi
Segmentation of ancient documents is challenging. In the worst cases, text characters become fragmented as the results of strong degradation processes. New active contour methods ...
