Active contours, or snakes, are computer-generated curves that move within images to find object boundaries. Its 3D version is often known as deformable models or active surfaces ...
According to the current standard model, neurons in lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) operate linearly. There is, however, ample evidence that LGN responses are nonlinear. To accou...
This paper presents GeoS, a new algorithm for the efficient segmentation of n-dimensional image and video data. The segmentation problem is cast as approximate energy minimization ...
This paper introduces a new process, environment matting, which captures not just a foreground object and its traditional opacity matte from a real-world scene, but also a descrip...

This paper presents a method to globally segment volumetric images into regions that contain convex or concave (elliptic) iso-surfaces, planar or cylindrical (parabolic) iso-surfa...
