The aim of this paper is to propose tools for statistical analysis of shape families using morphological operators. Given a series of shape families (or shape categories), the appr...
Abstract— This paper reports a novel method for fully automated segmentation that is based on description of shape and its variation using point distribution models (PDM’s). An...
This paper proposes a method of generating F0 contours from natural F0 segmental shapes for speech synthesis. The extracted shapes of F0 units are basically kept unchanged, by eli...
Abstract. We present a segmentation method for vessels using an implicit deformable model with a soft shape prior. Blood vessels are challenging structures to segment due to their ...
: Statistical shape models are powerful tools for model-based segmentation and have been sucessfully applied to the segmentation of various structures in medical images. Though the...
