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 ...
We present a novel framework to exert topology control over a level set evolution. Level set methods offer several advantages over parametric active contours, in particular automat...
A novel active contour model named Variable Background Active Contour model is proposed and applied for the detection of thyroid nodules in ultrasound images. The new model offers ...

Condensation, a form of likelihood-weighted particle filtering, has been successfully used to infer the shapes of highly constrained "active" contours in video sequences...
Geometric active contours are formulated in a manner which is parametrization independent. As such, they are amenable to representation as the zero level set of the graph of a hig...
