Abstract--Active models have been widely used in image processing applications. A crucial stage that affects the ultimate active model performance is initialization. This paper pro...
This paper proposes a statistic framework for segmenting textured areas over real images by discriminant snakes. Our active contour model has the ability to learn different textur...
Ultrasound has become a useful tool for speech scientists studying mechanisms of language sound production. State-of-the-art methods for extracting tongue contours from ultrasound...
We present a robust method for 3D reconstruction of closed surfaces from sparsely sampled parallel contours. A solution to this problem is especially important for medical segment...
Extended Abstract: We are exploring new techniques for active contour models (popularly known as “snakes”[1]) by combining active segmentation models with the constrained impli...
