Abstract. We propose two differential geometric representations of planar shapes using: (i) direction functions and (ii) curvature functions, of their boundaries. Under either rep...

Poor convergence to concave shapes is a main limitation of snakes as a standard segmentation and shape modelling technique. The gradient of the external energy of the snake represe...
Common techniques for curve alignment find a solution in the form of a shortest network path by means of dynamic programming. In this paper we present an approach that employs Set...
Abstract. In this paper we propose a new variational framework for image segmentation that incorporates the information of expected shape and a few points on the boundary into geod...

The asymptotic distribution of estimates that are based on a sub-optimal search for the maximum of the log-likelihood function is considered. In particular, estimation schemes that...
In this paper, a novel general purpose clustering algorithm is presented, based on the watershed algorithm. The proposed approach defines a density function on a suitable lattice,...

Reconstructing a 3-D scene from more than one camera is a classical problem in computer vision. One of the major sources of difficulty is the fact that not all scene elements are v...

We study a notion of variation for real valued two variable functions called the path variation and we discuss its application as a low-level image segmentation method. For this pu...
This paper presents a novel method for surface recovery from discrete 3D point data sets. In order to produce improved reconstruction results, the algorithm presented in this paper...
