Vessel segmentation and blood flow simulation using Level-Sets and Embedded Boundary methods
In this article we address the problem of blood flow simulation in realistic vascular objects. The anatomical surfaces are extracted by means of Level-Sets methods that accurately model the complex and varying surfaces of pathological objects such as aneurysms and stenoses. The surfaces obtained are defined at the sub-pixel level where they intersect the Cartesian grid of the image domain. It i...
متن کاملLesion Boundary Segmentation using Level Set Methods
This paper addresses the issue of accurate lesion segmentation in retinal imagery, using level set methods and a novel stopping mechanism an elementary features scheme. Specifically, the curve propagation is guided by a gradient map built using a combination of histogram equalization and robust statistics. The stopping mechanism uses elementary features gathered as the curve deforms over time, ...
متن کاملVessel Segmentation Using Implicit Model-Guided Level Sets
This paper proposes an automatic segmentation method of vasculature that combines level-sets with an implicit 3D model of the vessels. First, a 3D vessel model from a set of initial centerlines is generated. This model is incorporated in the level set propagation to regulate the growth of the vessel contour. After evolving the level set, new centerlines are extracted and the diameter of vessels...
متن کاملTwo-Level Methods for Blood Flow Simulation
We consider two-level Newton-Krylov-Schwarz algorithms for blood flow in arteries, which is a computationally difficult and practically important application area [6, 8]. In particular, the similar densities of blood and artery wall make the coupling between fluid and structure strong in both directions, so that partitioned or iterative procedures have difficulties due to the added-mass effect ...
متن کاملLip Contour Segmentation Using Kernel Methods and Level Sets
This paper proposes a novel method for segmenting lips from face images or video sequences. A non-linear learning method in the form of an SVM classifier is trained to recognise lip colour over a variety of faces. The pixel-level information that the trained classifier outputs is integrated effectively by minimising an energy functional using level set methods, which yields the lip contour(s). ...
