The automatic detection of lung nodules attached to other pulmonary structures is a useful yet challenging task in lung CAD systems. In this paper, we propose a stratified statist...

We extend the constellation model to include heterogeneous parts which may represent either the appearance or the geometry of a region of the object. The parts and their spatial co...
We present a method to measure reflectance and texture of surfaces in a one step process. For later use in digital image synthesis it is mandatory to separate the gathered intensi...
This paper addresses the problem of recognizing shadows from monochromatic natural images. Without chromatic information, shadow classification is very challenging because the in...
We propose a scheme to introduce directionality in the Random Walker algorithm for image segmentation. In particular, we extend the optimization framework of this algorithm to com...
