Abstract. In this work, we present two active shape models for the segmentation of tubular objects. The first model is built using cylindrical parameterization and minimum descrip...
— Active cannulas are a relatively new continuum robot subclass characterized by their use of preshaped tubes that transmit bending moments as they slide within one another and a...
In order to create a complete three-dimensional model of an object based on its two-dimensional images, the images have to be acquired from different views. An increasing number o...
Abstract. In this paper we propose a new variational framework for image segmentation that incorporates the information of expected shape and a few points on the boundary into geod...

An active contour model for parametric curve and surface approximation is presented. The active curve or surface adapts to the model shape to be approximated in an optimization al...
