In order to recognize plant species from their shapes, shapes of contours of leaves can be used. However, contours of leaves are complicated and have variations. In order to deal ...
Most object detection techniques discussed in the literature are based solely on texture-based features that capture the global or local appearance of an object. While results indi...
A common problem in most active contour methods is that the recursive searching scheme can only return a local optimal solution. Furthermore, the internal energy of the snake is n...
We propose a novel framework for contour based object
detection and recognition, which we formulate as a joint
contour fragment grouping and labeling problem. For a
given set of...

In this paper, we present an object contour tracking approach using graph cuts based active contours (GCBAC). Our proposed algorithm does not need any a priori global shape model,...
