A new filtering method for ultrasound images incorporating prior statistics concerning medical features
20 To 50 percent of the neonates with a very low birth weight (VLBW:< 1500 g) suffer from White Matter Damage (leukomalacia). Nowadays the diagnosis of WMD is still solely depe...

Facial parameter extraction system based on active contours
This paper addresses the application of active contours or snakes for location and tracking of facial features. Conventional snake approaches find the position of the snake by fin...

Region-based active contours for video object segmentation with camera compensation
In this paper, we present a new algorithm for the segmentation of moving objects in a video sequence acquired by a mobile camera using region-based active contours. Indeed, active...

The Snakuscule
Traditional snakes, or active contours, are planar parametric curves. Their parameters are determined by optimizing the weighted sum of three energy terms: one depending on the dat...

A Statistical Approach to Snakes for Bimodal and Trimodal Imagery
In this paper, we describe a new region-based approach to active contours for segmenting images composed of two or three types of regions characterizable by a given statistic. The...

Designing Spatially Coherent Minimizing Flows for Variational Problems Based on Active Contours
This paper tackles an important aspect of the variational problems involving active contours, which has been largely overlooked so far: the optimization by gradient flows. Classic...

Object Segmentation Using Graph Cuts Based Active Contours
In this paper we present a graph cuts based active contours (GCBAC) approach to object segmentation problems. Our method is a combination of active contours and the optimization t...

Stereo Coupled Active Contours
We consider how tracking in stereo may be enhanced by coupling pairs of active contours in different views via affine epipolar geometry and various subsets of planar affine transf...
