Geodesic Active Contours
نویسنده
چکیده
Image segmentation and edge detection are two of the most commonly used tools in image processing. One of the primary goals of segmentation is to capture the most important and significant information in an image, which usually appears inside the object boundaries. Image segmentation is also used as a preprocessing step or a sub-routine for other applications, such as image registration and object tracking. Using image segmentation, one can simplify an image by filtering out less relevant information that is present in it. Image segmentation is frequently used in medical imaging for viewing organs and tissues for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. Some other main areas that use image segmentation extensively are computer vision and autonomous vehicles.

Gabor-Space Geodesic Active Contours
A novel scheme for texture segmentation is presented. Our algorithm is based on generalizing the intensity-based geodesic active contours model to the Gabor spatial-feature space of images. First, we apply the Gabor-Morlet transform to the image using self similar Gabor functions, and then implement the geodesic active snakes mechanism in this space. The spatial-feature space is represented, vi...
متن کاملMR Image Segmentation Using Graph Cuts Based Geodesic Active Contours
In this paper, present a graph cuts based geodesic active contours (GAC) approach to object segmentation problems. Our method is a combination of geodesic active contours and the optimization tool of graph cuts and differs fundamentally from traditional active contours in that it uses graph cuts to iteratively deform the contour. Consequently, it has the following advantages. 1. It has the abil...
متن کاملAerial and Satellite Image Segmentation Based on Shape- Constrained Geodesic Active Contours
In this paper, we propose a novel mathematical model to address segmentation from an aerial and satellite imagery. Segmentation is performed through the consistent recovery of the zero iso-surfaces of a level set function towards image’s foreground (desired object for extraction) and background discrimination. The level set method is embedded in a geodesic active contours variational formulatio...
متن کاملVariational Image Segmentation by Unifying Region and Boundary Information
This paper presents a novel variational image segmentation technique that unifies both geodesic active contours and geodesic active regions. The originality of the method is the automatic and dynamic global weighting of the respective local equations of motion. A new stopping function for the geodesic active contours is also introduced, which proves to have a better behavior in the vicinity of ...
متن کاملA Multigrid Approach for Fast Geodesic Active Contours
The geodesic active contour is a recent geometric approach for image segmentation, which is motivated by previous snake and geometric models. Segmentation in this model is performed by a dynamic curve which minimizes several internal and external forces. These forces smooth the curve and attract it to the boundaries of objects. The conventional framework for computing geodesic active contours i...
متن کاملGeodesic Active Contours with Combined Shape and Appearance Priors
We present a new object segmentation method that is based on geodesic active contours with combined shape and appearance priors. It is known that using shape priors can significantly improve object segmentation in cluttered scenes and occlusions. Within this context, we add a new prior, based on the appearance of the object, (i.e., an image) to be segmented. This method enables the appearance p...
