We present a modification of the Mumford-Shah functional and its cartoon limit which facilitates the incorporation of a statistical prior on the shape of the segmenting contour. By...
In this paper, we propose an image segmentation technique based on augmenting the conformal (or geodesic) active contour framework with directional information. In the isotropic ca...

In this paper, we introduce a semi-automated segmentation method based on minimizing the Geodesic Active Contour energy incorporating a shape prior. We increase the robustness of t...

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...

Handwritten document images contain textlines with multi orientations, touching and overlapping characters within consecutive textlines, and small inter-line spacing making textli...
