The goal of this article is to review the state-of-the-art tracking methods, classify them into
different categories, and identify new trends. Object tracking, in general, is a challenging …

This article surveys deformable models, a promising and vigorously researched computer-
assisted medical image analysis technique. Among model-based techniques, deformable …

The problem of efficient, interactive foreground/background segmentation in still images is of
great practical importance in image editing. Classical image segmentation tools use either …

Snakes, or active contours, are used extensively in computer vision and image processing
applications, particularly to locate object boundaries. Problems associated with initialization …

Fast Marching Methods are numerical schemes for computing solutions to the nonlinear
Eikonal equation and related static Hamilton--Jacobi equations. Based on entropy-satisfying …

We describe a geometric-flow-based algorithm for computing a dense oversegmentation of
an image, often referred to as superpixels. It produces segments that, on one hand, respect …

Image segmentation using a region-based active contour model could present difficulties
when its noise distribution is unknown. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a …
