Automatic Active Contours Propagation in a Sequence of Medical Images
In this paper we present a new algorithm to track an organ in a sequence of medical images in order to achieve a 3D reconstruction. The automatic method that we propose allows the tracking of the external contour of the anatomical organ in all the sequence from one contour initialized by the user on the first image. The required operations for our tracking method are the region-based active con...
متن کاملAutomatic Segmentation of Lumen in Intravascular Ultrasound Images Using Fuzzy Clustering and Active Contours
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging constitutes a widely used technique for coronary heart disease diagnosis and management of arterial atherosclerosis. The identification of lumen and media-adventitia boundaries in IVUS images is necessary for an efficient quantitative assessment of atherosclerotic plaques. In this paper, a new automated approach for lumen border detection is proposed. Thi...
متن کاملQuasi-automatic initialization for parametric active contours
Active contour is a well-known image segmentation technique, commonly used to find object boundaries in images. Its main benefit is its ability to retrieve an ordered collection of points. However, fitting precisely a deformable contour to actual boundaries depends strongly on its initialization and requires adjusting various parameters. This paper presents an original method to initialize quas...
متن کاملDeconvolving Active Contours for Fluorescence Microscopy Images
We extend active contours to constrained iterative deconvolution by replacing the external energy function with a model-based likelihood. This enables sub-pixel estimation of the outlines of diffractionlimited objects, such as intracellular structures, from fluorescence micrographs. We present an efficient algorithm for solving the resulting optimization problem and robustly estimate object out...
متن کاملAutomatic Initialization of Multiple Active Contours Applied to Ultrasound Images of Breast Cancer
The multiple active contours (snakes) are widely used in image processing to extract objects of interest. However, initialization of the active contours is still an open problem. This paper proposes a new completely automatic initialization of snakes based on a combination of Phrase Portrait Analysis (PPA) image intensity clustering and multi-stage evolution of the active contours. The proposed...
