Prostate segmentation is an important step in prostate volume estimation, multi-modal image
registration, and patient-specific anatomical modeling for surgical planning and image …

In this paper, the hybrid active contour model driven by optimized local pre-fitting image
(OLPFI) energy was proposed for fast image segmentation. Since the proposed model …

Inhomogenous image segmentation has been a research challenge in recent years. To deal
with this difficulty, we propose a new local and global active contour model based on …

Image segmentation is an important field of computer vision and has attracted significant
research attention in the recent years. In this paper, we provide a survey of regional level set …

In this paper, we propose an advanced variational model for image segmentation and bias
correction. In contrast to the majority of existing level set segmentation models that only …

Delineation of prostate boundary is a critical procedure in multi-modal prostate registration
and patient-specific anatomical modeling for surgical planning and image-guided biopsy of …

The active contour model is a commonly used image segmentation method. When applied
to complex images, such as images with grayscale inhomogeneity, most existing active …

Comfort shoe-last design relies on the key points of last curvature. Traditional plantar
pressure image segmentation methods are limited to their local and global minimization …

In this paper, we propose a variational level set model for multiscale image segmentation
that can extract desired object from the background under various scales. The new model …

Detecting the organ boundary in an ultrasound image is challenging because of the poor
contrast of ultrasound images and the existence of imaging artifacts. In this study, we …
