The segmentation of the heart's left ventricle (LV) chamber in several medical imaging modalities, e.g. Ultrasound (US) and Magnetic Resonance (MRI), is important from a clin...
The presence of speckle in ultrasound images makes it hard to segment them using active contours. Speckle causes the energy function of the active contours to have many local minim...
Constrained clustering has been well-studied for algorithms like K-means and hierarchical agglomerative clustering. However, how to encode constraints into spectral clustering rem...
The segmentation of ultrasound images is challenging due to the difficulty of appropriate modeling of their appearance variations including speckle as well as signal dropout. We ...
