Area and length minimizing flows for shape segmentation

A number of active contour models have been proposed that unify the curve evolution framework with classical energy minimization techniques for segmentation, such as snakes. The...

A Three-Dimensional Edge Operator

Modern scanning techniques, such as computed tomography, have begun to produce true three-dimensional imagery of internal structures. The first stage in finding structure in the...

On the Foundations of Relaxation Labeling Processes

A large class of problems can be formulated in terms of the assignment of labels to objects. Frequently, processes are needed which reduce ambiguity and noise, and select the be...

Geometric diffusions as a tool for harmonic analysis and structure definition of data: Diffusion maps

We provide a framework for structural multiscale geometric organization of graphs and subsets of \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepack...
