This paper presents a new image segmentation framework which employs a shape prior in the form of an edge strength function to introduce a higher-level influence on the segmentati...
In this work, we introduce a novel implicit representation of shape which is based on assigning to each pixel a probability that this pixel is inside the shape. This probabilistic...
Interactive or semi-automatic segmentation is a useful alternative to pure automatic segmentation in many applications. While automatic segmentation can be very challenging, a sma...
A novel method of incorporating shape information into the image segmentation process is presented. We introduce a representation for deformable shapes and define a probability di...

In recent years, researchers have proposed to introduce statistical shape knowledge into level set based segmentation methods in order to cope with insufficient low-level informati...
