This paper tackles an important aspect of the variational problems involving active contours, which has been largely overlooked so far: the optimization by gradient flows. Classic...
Active contours are adapted to image segmentation by energy minimization. The energies often exhibit local minima, requiring regularization. Such an a priori can be expressed as a...

The use of active contours for texture segmentation seems rather attractive in the recent research, indicating that such methodologies may provide more accurate results. In this pa...

Active contours, very popular in image segmentation, suffer from delicate adjustments of many parameters. We propose to carry out these adjustments using genetic algorithm. Here an...
