In this paper, a close-form B-snake model is presented for contour extraction in medical images. Based on our previous research work [lo], the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) h...
Abstract. We propose a vector representation approach to contour estimation from noisy data. Images are modeled as random elds composed of a set of homogeneous regions contours (bo...
A variational approach to image or video segmentation consists in defining an energy depending on local or global image characteristics, the minimum of which being reached for ob...

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...
Abstract--We have developed a novel, model-based active contour algorithm, termed "snakules", for the annotation of spicules on mammography. At each suspect spiculated ma...
