A Multiphase Level Set Framework for Image Segmentation Using the Mumford and Shah Model
We propose a new multiphase level set framework for image segmentation using the Mumford and Shah model, for piecewise constant and piecewise smooth optimal approximations. The pro...

Initialisation-Free Active Contour Segmentation
We present a region based active contour model which does not require any initialisation and is capable of modelling multi-modal image regions. Its external force is based on stat...

Approximation with Active B-Spline Curves and Surfaces
An active contour model for parametric curve and surface approximation is presented. The active curve or surface adapts to the model shape to be approximated in an optimization al...

Curve Evolution, Boundary-Value Stochastic Processes, the Mumford-Shah Problem, and Missing Data Applications
We present an estimation-theoretic approach to curve evolution for the Mumford-Shah problem. By viewing an active contour as the set of discontinuities in the Mumford-Shah problem...

Modeling of Front Evolution with Graph Cut Optimization
In this paper, we present a novel active contour model, in which the traditional gradient descent optimization is replaced by graph cut optimization. The basic idea is to first de...
