We propose an extension of the conformal (or geodesic) active contour framework in which the conformal factor depends not only on the position of the curve but also on the directi...
Most variational active contour models are designed to find the “desirable” local minima of data-dependent energy functionals with the hope of avoiding undesirable configurat...
Abstract. This paper presents a novel approach for image segmentation by introducing competition between neighboring shape models. Our method is motivated by the observation that e...

Vertebra shape can effectively describe various pathologies found in spine x-ray images. There are some critical regions on the shape contour which help determine whether the shap...
