This paper presents a stochastic active contour model for image segmentation from cardiac MR images. The proposed algorithms aims to minimize an energy functional by the level set method while ...

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Vol. 64, No. 2 (Dec., 2003 - Jan., 2004), pp. 442-467 (26 pages) The problem of segmentation of a given image using the active contour technique is considered. An ...

This paper presents a generalized technique of matching a deformable model to an image through energy minimization. An active contour model called snakes has been proposed which is a continuous and ...
