Abstract. In this paper, we introduce a novel evolution-based segmentation algorithm by using the heat flow analogy, to gain practical advantage. The proposed algorithm consists of...
We introduce a novel skeleton extraction algorithm in binary and gray-scale images, based on the anisotropic heat diffusion analogy. We propose to diffuse image in the dominance o...
: There is a rich literature of approaches to image feature extraction in computer vision. Many sophisticated approaches exist for low- and high-level feature extraction but can be...

Defocus can be modeled as a diffusion process and represented mathematically using the heat equation, where image blur corresponds to the diffusion of heat. This analogy can be ext...

In recent years, curve evolution, applied to a single contour or to the level sets of an image via partial differential equations, has emerged as an important tool in image process...
