In this paper we explicitly derive a level set formulation for mean curvature flow in a Riemannian metric space. This extends the traditional geodesic active contour framework whi...
Intensity inhomogeneities often occur in real-world images and may cause considerable difficulties in image segmentation. In order to overcome the difficulties caused by intensity ...

In this paper, we present an automatic mouth contour and state estimation system. An efficient mouth contour extraction algorithm is proposed under the framework of Active Shape M...
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...

This paper tackles an important aspect of the variational problem underlying active contours: optimization by gradient flows. Classically, the definition of a gradient depends d...
