Scale-space for empty catheter segmentation in PCI fluoroscopic images [PDF]
In this article, we present a method for empty guiding catheter segmentation in fluoroscopic X-ray images. The guiding catheter, being a commonly visible landmark, its segmentation is an important and a difficult brick for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) procedure modeling.In number of clinical situations, the catheter is empty and appears as ...

Scale-Space Autoencoders for Unsupervised Anomaly Segmentation in Brain MRI [PDF]
Brain pathologies can vary greatly in size and shape, ranging from few pixels (i.e. MS lesions) to large, space-occupying tumors. Recently proposed Autoencoder-based methods for unsupervised anomaly segmentation in brain MRI have shown promising performance, but face difficulties in modeling distributions with high fidelity, which is crucial for ...

Colour Morphological Scale-Spaces for Image Segmentation [PDF]
Morphological scale-spaces have become an important tool for analysing greyscale images. However, their extension to colour images has proven elusive until recently. In this paper an original evaluation of two recently proposed colour sieves is presented, both algorithmically and in terms of their computational and segmentation performance.

Image segmentation through the scale-space random walker [PDF]
This thesis proposes an extension to the Random Walks assisted segmentation algorithm that allows it to operate on a scale-space. Scale-space is a multi-resolution signal analysis method that retains all of the structures in an image through progressive blurring with a Gaussian kernel.

Scale Space Operators on Hierarchies of Segmentations [PDF]
A hierarchy of segmentations(partitions) is a multiscale set representation of the image. This paper introduces a new set of scale space operators or transformations on the space of hierarchies of partitions. An ordering of hierarchies is proposed which is endowed by an ω-ordering based on a global energy over the classes of the hierarchy.

False positive reduction in CADe using diffusing scale space [PDF]
Segmentation is typically the first step in computer-aided-detection (CADe). The second step is false positive reduction which usually involves computing a large number of features with thresholds set by training over excessive data set.

DroTrack: High-speed Drone-based Object Tracking Under Uncertainty
We present DroTrack, a high-speed visual single-object tracking framework for drone-captured video sequences. Most of the existing object tracking methods are designed to tackle well-known challenges, such as occlusion and cluttered backgrounds.

Automated Visual Fin Identification of Individual Great White Sharks [PDF]
This paper discusses the automated visual identification of individual great white sharks from dorsal fin imagery. We propose a computer vision photo ID system and report recognition results over a database of thousands of unconstrained fin images.
