In this work, we propose novel results for the optimization of divergences within the framework of region-based active contours. We focus on parametric statistical models where th...
Anatomical objects often have complex and varying image appearance at different portions of the boundary; and it is frequently a challenge even to select appropriate scales at whic...
This paper presents a new deformable modeling strategy aimed at integrating shape and appearance in a unified space. If we think traditional deformable models as "active cont...
Image decomposition consists of splitting an image into two or more components. One component is piecewise smooth and models object shapes. Another component consists of the textu...
Skeleton is a lower dimensional shape description of an object. The requirements of a skeleton differ with applications. For example, object recognition requires skeletons with pr...
