A new, practical, and efficient approach is proposed for 3D vascular segmentation and bifurcation structure extraction. The method uses a combination of mathematical morphology, re...

Standard image based segmentation approaches perform poorly when there is little or no contrast along boundaries of different regions. In such cases, segmentation is largely perfor...

We propose a novel approach for shape-based segmentation based on a specially designed level set function format. This format permits us to better control the process of object re...
Various anatomical objects are tubular in shape. These structures can be modeled by describing their curvilinear path and the cross-sectional shape along the path. However, most r...
Object boundary extraction is an important task in brain image analysis. Acquiring detailed 3D representations of the brain structures could improve the detection rate of diseases...
