Abstract. Variational frameworks based on level set methods are popular for the general problem of image segmentation. They combine different feature channels in an energy minimiz...
In this work, we present a common framework for seeded image segmentation algorithms that yields two of the leading methods as special cases - The Graph Cuts and the Random Walker...
Active contours is a popular technique for image segmentation.
However, active contour tend to converge to the
closest local minimum of its energy function and often requires
a ...
We consider a class of region-based energies for image
segmentation and inpainting which combine region integrals
with curvature regularity of the region boundary. To
minimize s...
We present an energy based automatic image segmentation algorithm that uses a novel active contour scheme, called the stochastic active contour scheme (STACS). The algorithm overc...
