— A number of active contour models have been proposed that unify the curve evolution framework with classical energy minimization techniques for segmentation, such as snakes. Th...
Results of any clustering algorithm are highly sensitive to features that limit their generalization and hence provide a strong motivation to integrate shape information into the ...

Decomposition of cells in clumps is a difficult segmentation task requiring region splitting techniques. Techniques that do not employ prior shape constraints usually fail to achi...
Abstract. Active Shape Models are a popular method for segmenting three-dimensional medical images. To obtain the required landmark correspondences, various automatic approaches ha...

This paper presents a new approach to prior shape and appearance modeling for use in curve evolution-based segmentation. The new method is based on the unified use of feature dist...
