— A number of active contour models have been proposed that unify the curve evolution framework with classical energy minimization techniques for segmentation, such as snakes. Th...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a robust fully non-supervised method dedicated to the segmentation of the brain in T1-weighted MR images. The first step consists in the analysi...

Topology-preserving geometric deformable models (TGDMs) are used to segment objects that have a known topology. Their accuracy is inherently limited, however, by the resolution of...
This paper introduces the use of spatially adaptive components into the geodesic active contour segmentation method for application to volumetric medical images. These components a...

Energy functional minimization is an increasingly popular technique for image segmentation. However, it is far too commonly applied with hand-tuned parameters and initializations t...
