Abstract--In this paper, we propose a natural framework that allows any region-based segmentation energy to be re-formulated in a local way. We consider local rather than global im...
Previous works on range image segmentation concentrate on surface patches that can be well represented by certain mathematical functions. In this paper we consider the more qualit...
Curve evolution schemes for segmentation, implemented with level set methods, have become an important approach in computer vision. Previous work has modeled evolving contours whi...

Active contours is a popular technique for image segmentation.
However, active contour tend to converge to the
closest local minimum of its energy function and often requires
a ...
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...
