Object recognition has reached a level where we can identify a large number of previously seen and known objects. However, the more challenging and important task of categorizing ...
We present an active geodesic contour model in which we constrain the evolving active contour to be a geodesic with respect to a weighted edge-based energy through its entire evol...
A finite-element deformable surface-spine model is developed in this paper to register two surfaces by recovering the nonlinear deformation with respect to each other. The deforma...
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...
Segmentation of ancient documents is challenging. In the worst cases, text characters become fragmented as the results of strong degradation processes. New active contour methods ...
