One critical issue in the context of image restoration is the problem of noise removal while keeping the integrity of relevant image information. Denoising is a crucial step to inc...
In this paper, we propose a novel region-based active contour model for image segmentation with a variational level set formulation. By introducing a local binary fitting energy, ...

In this paper, we propose a level set based energy functional, the minimization of which results in simultaneous background modeling, foreground segmentation, and contour smoothin...

Fast level set methods replace continuous PDEs by a discrete formulation, improving the execution times. The regularization in fast level set methods was so far handled indirectly...
Text extraction is an important phase in document recognition systems. In order to segment text from a page document it is necessary to detect all the possible manuscript text reg...
