This paper addresses the application of active contours or snakes for location and tracking of facial features. Conventional snake approaches find the position of the snake by fin...
Condensation, a form of likelihood-weighted particle filtering, has been successfully used to infer the shapes of highly constrained "active" contours in video sequences...
In this paper, we propose to use an active contour method to attract active surfaces towards non-smoothed segmentation masks. To achieve this task, we introduce a new region-based...
This paper deals with the use of vector-connected filters for eliminating Gaussian noise in colour images. This class of morphological filters suppresses noise but preserves the c...
