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 introduces a novel solver, namely cross entropy (CE), into the MRF theory for medical image segmentation. The solver, which is based on the theory of rare event simulati...
The recently introduced random walker segmentation algorithm of [14] has been shown to have desirable theoretical properties and to perform well on a wide variety of images in pra...
We present a method for optimizing the stereo matching process when it is applied to a series of images with similar depth structures. We observe that there are similar regions wit...
We present a fast graph cut algorithm for planar graphs.
It is based on the graph theoretical work [2] and leads to an
efficient method that we apply on shape matching and im-
