Abstract:
We present a nonparametric shape constrained algorithm for segmentation of coronary arteries in computed tomography images within the framework of active contours. An adaptive scale selection scheme, based on the global histogram information of the image data, is employed to determine the appropriate window size for each point on the active contour, which improves the performance of the active contour model in the low contrast local image regions. The possible leakage, which cannot be identified by using intensity features alone, is reduced through the application of the proposed shape constra

Abstract:
As Many CADx systems have been developed to detect lung cancer based on spatial domain features that process only the pixel intensity values, the proposed scheme applies frequency transform to the lung images to extract frequency domain features and they are combined with spatial features so that the features that are not revealed in spatial domain will be extracted and the classification performance can be tuned up. The proposed CADx comprises of four stages. In the first stage, lung region is segmented using Convexity based active contour segmentation. At second stage ROIs are extracted usin

Abstract:
The detection, segmentation, and delineation of the targeted regions of interest in biomedical images are fundamental steps for computer-aided assessment and prescreening. In this thesis, we focus on shape-constrained active contours explicitly due to their shape-specificity, efficiency and low computational cost. In particular, they need fewer degrees-of-freedom than other active contour approaches. They are simpler to formulate and optimize. Variants of concentric shape-constrained active contour representations include circular active disc, elliptical active disc, and active oblong. The deg

Abstract:
An algorithm for lip contour extraction is presented in this chapter. A colour video sequence of a speaker’s face is acquired under natural lighting conditions without any particular set-up, make-up, or markers. The first step is to perform a logarithmic colour transform from RGB to HI colour space. Next, a segmentation algorithm extracts the lip area by combining motion with red hue information into a spatio-temporal neighbourhood. The lip’s region of interest, semantic information, and relevant boundaries points are then automatically extracted. A good estimate of mouth corners sets active contour initialisation close to the boundaries to extract. Finally, a set of adapted active contours use an open form with curvature discontinuities along the mouth corners for the outer lip contours, a line-type open active contour when the mouth is closed, and closed active contours with lip shape constrained pressure balloon forces when the mouth is open. They are initialised with the results of the pre-processing stage. An accurate lip shape with inner and outer borders is then obtained with reliable quality results for various speakers under different acquisition conditions.
