Figures in digital documents contain important information. Current digital libraries do not summarize and index information available within figures for document retrieval. We pr...

A new boundary detection approach for shape modeling is presented. It detects the global minimum of an active contour model's energy between two end points. Initialization is ...
We propose a mesh segmentation algorithm via recursive bisection where at each step, a sub-mesh embedded in 3D is first spectrally projected into the plane and then a contour is ...
Compared to scanned images, document pictures captured by camera can suffer from distortions due to perspective and page warping. It is necessary to restore a frontal planar view ...
Active contours, or snakes, are computer-generated curves that move within images to find object boundaries. Its 3D version is often known as deformable models or active surfaces ...
