In this paper we propose an active contour model for segmentation based on the Chan-Vese model. The new model can capture inherent sharp features, i.e., the sharp corners of object...
Segmentation in volumetric images deals with separating `objects' from their `background' in a given 3D data. Usually, one starts with `edge detectors' that give bi...
Image decomposition consists of splitting an image into two or more components. One component is piecewise smooth and models object shapes. Another component consists of the textu...
Active contours or snakes have been extensively utilized in handling image segmentation and classification problems. In traditional active contour models, snake initialization is ...
We consider the problem of image segmentation using active contours through the minimization of an energy criterion involving both region and boundary functionals. These functiona...
