In this paper, a close-form B-snake model is presented for contour extraction in medical images. Based on our previous research work [lo], the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) h...
We analyze the mixing time of a natural local Markov chain (the Glauber dynamics) on configurations of the solid-onsolid model of statistical physics. This model has been proposed...
A second-order hierarchical uncertainty model of a system of independent random variables is studied in the paper. It is shown that the complex nonlinear optimization problem for ...
We describe a system that automatically generates varied geometric models of human faces. A collection of random measurements of the face is generated according to anthropometric ...

The Active Appearance Model (AAM) algorithm has proved to be a successful method for matching statistical models of appearance to new images. Since the original algorithm was desc...
