In this work, we propose novel results for the optimization of divergences within the framework of region-based active contours. We focus on parametric statistical models where th...
We study the convergence behavior of the Active Mask (AM) framework, originally designed for segmenting punctate image patterns. AM combines the flexibility of traditional active...

In this paper, we present a novel active contour model, in which the traditional gradient descent optimization is replaced by graph cut optimization. The basic idea is to first de...

Using the framework of higher-order active contours, we present a new quadratic continuation energy for the extraction of line networks (e.g. road, hydrographic, vascular) in the ...
In this paper, we present an algorithm to combine edge information from stereo-derived depth maps with edges from the original intensity/color image to improve the contour detecti...
