Global region-based active contours, like the Chan-Vese model, often make strong assumptions on the intensity distributions of the searched object and background, preventing their ...
A new approach to active contours on statistical manifolds is presented. The statistical manifolds are 2dimensional Riemannian manifolds that are statistically defined by maps that...

Abstract--In this paper, we propose a natural framework that allows any region-based segmentation energy to be re-formulated in a local way. We consider local rather than global im...
This paper introduces the use of spatially adaptive components into the geodesic active contour segmentation method for application to volumetric medical images. These components a...

In this paper, we propose to combine formally noise and shape priors in region-based active contours. On the one hand, we use the general framework of exponential family as a prio...
