Abstract. In this paper, we propose an evolution equation for the active contours in scale spaces. This evolution equation is based on the Polyakov functional that has been first ...

Segmentation of ultrasound images is often a very challenging task due to speckle noise that contaminates the image. It is well known that speckle noise exhibits an asymmetric dis...

Abstract--We have developed a novel, model-based active contour algorithm, termed "snakules", for the annotation of spicules on mammography. At each suspect spiculated ma...

A new boundary detection approach for shape modeling is presented. It detects the global minimum of an active contour model's energy between two end points. Initialization is ...
This paper proposes a novel approach to segment three dimensional curvilinear structures, particularly vessels in angiography, by inspecting the symmetry of image gradients. The pr...
