A Nonparametric Shape Prior Constrained Active Contour Model for Segmentation of Coronaries in CTA Images
We present a nonparametric shape constrained algorithm for segmentation of coronary arteries in computed tomography images within the framework of active contours. An adaptive scale selection scheme, based on the global histogram information of the image data, is employed to determine the appropriate window size for each point on the active contour, which improves the performance of the active ...
متن کاملA Fully Automatic Cerebellum Segmentation Method using an Active Contour Model with Shape Prior
Introduction 3D visualization and functional analysis of human brain require segmentation of cerebrum and cerebellum from brain magnetic resonance (MR) images. Many methods for brain extraction were developed, but segmentation of the cerebellum from brain region is still difficult. This difficulty mainly comes from partial volume effect that makes the task of delineating the boundary challengin...
متن کاملSegmentation of biomedical images using active contour model with robust image feature and shape prior
In this article, a new level set model is proposed for the segmentation of biomedical images. The image energy of the proposed model is derived from a robust image gradient feature which gives the active contour a global representation of the geometric configuration, making it more robust in dealing with image noise, weak edges, and initial configurations. Statistical shape information is incor...
متن کاملNONPARAMETRIC SHAPE PRIORS FOR ACTIVE CONTOUR−BASED IMAGE SEGMENTATION (WedAmOR11)
When segmenting images of low quality or with missing data, statistical prior information about the shapes of the objects to be segmented can significantly aid the segmentation process. However, defining probability densities in the space of shapes is an open and challenging problem. In this paper, we propose a nonparametric shape prior model for image segmentation problems. In particular, give...
متن کاملA Local Probabilistic Prior-Based Active Contour Model for Brain MR Image Segmentation
This paper proposes a probabilistic prior-based active contour model for segmenting human brain MR images. Our model is formulated with the maximum a posterior (MAP) principle and implemented under the level set framework. Probabilistic atlas for the structure of interest, e.g., cortical gray matter or caudate nucleus, can be seamlessly integrate into the level set evolution procedure to provid...
