An Improved Active Shape Model: Handling Occlusion and Outliers
نویسندگان
چکیده
An improvement of the Active Shape procedure identifying new examples of previously learned shapes using the point distribution model is presented. The novel segmentation and interpretation approach incorporates a priori knowledge about the objects of interest and their speciic structural relationships to provide robust segmentation and labeling. The method was utilized to successfully identify 10 neuroanatomic structures in 19 individual MR images and 2 car classes (left-right and right-left oriented) in 400 perspective images of street scenes.

Carotid Artery Segmentation Using an Outlier Immune 3D Active Shape Models Framework
This paper presents an outlier immune 3D active shape models framework for robust volumetric segmentation of the carotid artery required for accurate plaque burden assessment. In the proposed technique, outlier handling is based on a shape metric that is invariant to scaling, rotation and translation by using the ratio of inter-landmark distances as a local shape dissimilarity measure. Toleranc...
متن کاملRobust Shape Fitting and Semantic Enrichment
A robust fitting and reconstruction algorithm has to cope with two major problems. First of all it has to be able to deal with noisy input data and outliers. Furthermore it should be capable of handling multiple data set mixtures. The decreasing exponential approach is robust towards outliers and multiple data set mixtures. It is able to fit a parametric model to a given point cloud. As paramet...

متن کاملEnhancement of vehicle stability by adaptive fuzzy and active geometry suspension system
In this paper, the enhancement of vehicle stability and handling is investigated by control of the active geometry suspension system (AGS). This system could be changed through control of suspension mounting point’s position in the perpendicular direction to wishbone therefore the dynamic is alternative and characteristics need to change. For this purpose, suitable controller needs to change...
متن کاملOcclusions and active appearance models
The deterministic active appearance model (AAM) tracker fails to track objects under occlusion. In this paper, we discuss two approaches to improve this tracker ’s robustness and tracking results. The first approach initialises the AAM tracker with a shape estimate obtained from an active contour, incorporating shape history into the tracker. The second approach combines AAMs and the particle f...
