A method for deforming curves in a given image to a desired position in a second image is introduced in this paper. The algorithm is based on deforming the first image toward the second one via a partial Differential equation, while tracking the deformation of the curves of interest in the first image with an additional, coupled, partial Differential ...

Higher Order Active Contours [PDF]
We introduce a new class of active contour models that hold great promise for region and shape modelling, and we apply a special case of these models to the extraction of road networks from satellite and aerial imagery. The new models are arbitrary polynomial functionals on the space of boundaries, and thus greatly generalize the linear functionals ...

Active Contours Driven by Cellular Neural Networks for Image Segmentation in Biomedical Applications [PDF]
This paper proposes a novel approach for image segmentation in the context of biomedical applications. The medical images considered for this analysis are both microarray images and images recorded from microfluidics devices. In case of microarray images,

Sparse Texture Active Contour [PDF]
In image segmentation, we are often interested in using certain quantities to characterize the object, and perform the classification based on criteria such as mean intensity, gradient magnitude, and responses to certain predefined filters. Unfortunately, in many cases such quantities are not adequate to model complex textured objects.

Cage Active Contours for image warping and morphing
Cage Active Contours (CACs) have shown to be a framework for segmenting connected objects using a new class of parametric region-based active contours.

Directional geodesic active contours [PDF]
We present a non-conformal metric that generalizes the geodesic active contours approach for image segmentation. The new metric is obtained by adding to the Euclidean metric an additional term that penalizes the misalignment of the curve with the image gradient and multiplying the resulting metric by a conformal factor that depends on the edge ...

Automatic segmentation of lizard spots using an active contour model
Animal biometrics is a challenging task. In the literature, many algorithms have been used, e.g. penguin chest recognition, elephant ears recognition and leopard stripes pattern recognition, but to use technology to a large extent in this area of ...

We propose a method for interactive boundary extraction which combines a deep, patch-based representation with an active contour framework. We train a class-specific convolutional neural network which predicts a vector pointing from the respective point on the evolving contour towards the closest point on the boundary of the object of interest.
