Abstract Recently proposed edge-preserving multiscale image decompositions enable artifact-free and visually appealing image editing. As the human eye is sensitive to contrast, per...
Constructing a fingerprint database is important to evaluate the performance of automatic fingerprint recognition systems. Because of the difficulty in collecting fingerprint sampl...
Exponentially growing photo collections motivate the needs for automatic image annotation for effective manipulations (e.g., search, browsing). Most of the prior works rely on sup...
Region growing is a frequently used segmentation method for medical ultrasound images processing. The first step of region growing is selecting the seed point which is inside the ...
This paper presents a statistical shape model for automatic skull stripping of MR brain images. A surface model of the brain boundary is hierarchically represented by a set of ove...
