Object Detection Using Principal Contour Fragments
Abstract—Contour features play an important role in object recognition. Psychological experiments have shown that maximum-curvature points are most distinctive along a contour [6...

Moving Cast Shadow Detection using Physics-based Features
Cast shadows induced by moving objects often cause serious problems to many vision applications. We present in this paper an online statistical learning approach to model the backg...

Ultrasound-Specific Segmentation via Decorrelation and Statistical Region-Based Active Contours
Segmentation of ultrasound images is often a very challenging task due to speckle noise that contaminates the image. It is well known that speckle noise exhibits an asymmetric dis...

An Active Contour Model without Edges
In this paper, we propose a new model for active contours to detect objects in a given image, based on techniques of curve evolution, Mumford-Shah functional for segmentation and l...

Automatic Extraction of Femur Contours from Hip X-Ray Images
Abstract. Extraction of bone contours from x-ray images is an important first step in computer analysis of medical images. It is more complex than the segmentation of CT and MR im...
