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...
— The accurate detection of object boundaries via active contours is an ongoing research topic in computer vision. Most active contours converge towards some desired contour by m...

Variation in object shape is an important visual cue for deformable object recognition and classification. In this paper, we present an approach to model gradual changes in the ?-...
Abstract. This paper introduces a technique for region-based pose tracking without the need to explicitly compute contours. We assume a surface model of a rigid object and at least...

Abstract. In this paper we propose a supervised method for the segmentation of masses in mammographic images. The algorithm starts with a selected pixel inside the mass, which has ...
