The presence of speckle in ultrasound images makes it hard to segment them using active contours. Speckle causes the energy function of the active contours to have many local minim...
In this paper we present the Coupled Active Contours (CAC) model, which is applied to segmentation of the endocardium in ultrasonic images assuming Rayleigh distributed intensitie...

We present a novel approach for discretely optimizing contours on the surface of a triangle mesh. This is achieved through the use of a minimum ratio cycle (MRC) algorithm, where ...
