In this paper we introduce new type of variational segmentation cost functions and associated active contour methods that are based on pairwise similarities or dissimilarities of t...
In recent years, the eld of active-contour based image segmentation have seen the emergence of two competing approaches. The rst and oldest approach represents active contours in ...
A new general-purpose color image segmentation editor (CISE) for the purpose of extracting a semantic object is designed, implemented and tested on a number of various natural sce...
—Moving object extraction plays a key role in applications such as object-based videoconference, surveillance, and so on. The difficulties of moving object segmentation lie in th...
A novel method of incorporating shape information into the image segmentation process is presented. We introduce a representation for deformable shapes and define a probability di...
