Improved Chin Fitting Algorithm Based on An Adaptive Snake
Fitting of the chin is an essential part of facial model fitting systems. Many previous approaches to chin fitting have used active contour models or snakes. However, achieving su...

Shape Extraction Via Heat Flow Analogy
Abstract. In this paper, we introduce a novel evolution-based segmentation algorithm by using the heat flow analogy, to gain practical advantage. The proposed algorithm consists of...

Histogram Based Segmentation Using Wasserstein Distances
In this paper, we propose a new nonparametric region-based active contour model for clutter image segmentation. To quantify the similarity between two clutter regions, we propose t...

The Ovuscule
—We propose an active contour (a.k.a. snake) that takes the shape of an ellipse. Its evolution is driven by surface terms made of two contributions: the integral of the data over...

Cardiac MR Image Segmentation: Quality Assessment of STACS
We present an energy based automatic image segmentation algorithm that uses a novel active contour scheme, called the stochastic active contour scheme (STACS). The algorithm overc...
