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...
The classical case of morphological segmentation is based on the watershed transform, constructed by flooding the gradient image, which is seen as a topographic surface, with cons...
A novel method of incorporating shape information into the image segmentation process is presented. We introduce a representation for deformable shapes and define a probability di...

Computer support for intervention planning is a two-stage process: In a first stage, the relevant segmentation target structures are identified and delineated. In a second stage, ...
Automatic segmentation of the esophagus from CT data is a challenging problem. Its wall consists of muscle tissue, which has low contrast in CT. Sometimes it is filled with air or...
