In this paper, a hybrid medical image segmentation approach is proposed based on a dual front evolution and fast sweeping evolution. This approach is composed of two stages. In th...
In this paper, we propose a method to vectorize comic images including halftone dots. Our method can prevent the jaggy and moire phenomena when the images are enlarged and shrank....
In this paper, we propose a fast image deconvolution algorithm that combines adaptive block thresholding and Vaguelet-Wavelet Decomposition. The approach consists in first denoisi...
—This paper presents a new method for extracting object edges from range images obtained by a 3D range imaging sensor⎯the SwissRanger SR-3000. In range image preprocessing stag...
