Active Contour Model Coupling with Higher Order Diffusion for Medical Image Segmentation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biomedical Imaging, 2014
Active contour models are very popular in image segmentation. Different features such as mean gray and variance are selected for different purpose. But for image with intensity inhomogeneities, there are no features for segmentation using the active ...

Template-Based Active Contours

open access: yesCoRR, 2013
We develop a generalized active contour formalism for image segmentation based on shape templates. The shape template is subjected to a restricted affine transformation (RAT) in order to segment the object of interest. RAT allows for translation, rotation, and scaling, which give a total of five degrees of freedom. The proposed active contour comprises

A neural model of contour integration in the primary visual cortex

open access: yes, 1998
Experimental observations suggest that contour integration may take place in V1. However, there has yet to be a model of contour integration that uses only known V1 elements, operations, and connection patterns.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

A Topology Preserving Method of Evolving Contours Based on Sparsity Constraint for Object Segmentation

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2017
Active contour models based on the level set method (LSM) are widely used in image segmentation. The major advantages of these models based on an LSM are topological flexibility and evolution robustness.

A Shape Prior-Based Active Contour Model for Automatic Images Segmentation

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Due to the variable shapes of objects, high noise intensity and complex environments, the field of image segmentation still has great challenges. To address these issues, we present a new image segmentation strategy based on active contour model and ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Surface Water Body Detection in High-Resolution TerraSAR-X Data using Active Contour Models

open access: yes, 2010
This paper presents the application of two different active contour models for the segmentation of high-resolution TerraSAR-X data. Both methods facilitate the detection of land-water-boundaries in semi-automated procedures and can be used to delineate ...

Water flow based complex feature extraction

open access: yes, 2006
A new general framework for shape extraction is presented, based on the paradigm of water flow. The mechanism embodies the fluidity of water and hence can detect complex shapes.
