Hierarchical Contour Shape Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a novel shape representation which performs shape analysis in a hierarchical fashion using Gaussian and Laplacian pyramids. A background on hierarchical shape analysis is given along with a detailed explanation of the hierarchical method, and results are shown on natural contours. A comparison is performed between the new method and our proposed approach using Point Distribution Models with different shape sets. The paper concludes with a discussion and proposes ideas on how the new approach may be extended.

Multiscale Shape Description of Mr Brain Images Using Active Contour Models
In this paper we present a hierarchical multiscale shape description tool based on active contour models which enables data-driven quantitative and qualitative shape studies of MR brain images at multiple scales. At large scales, global shape properties are extracted from the image, while smaller scale features are suppressed. At lower scales, the detailed shape characteristics become more prom...
متن کاملHierarchical Shape Description of MR Brain Images Based on Active Contour Models and Multi-Scale Differential Invariants
We have developed a novel hierarchical shape description tool, combining two recently developed and powerful techniques in image processing: differential invariants in scale space, and active contour models. We employ this tool for data-driven quantitative shape studies of Magnetic Resonance (MR) images of the brain at multiple scales. Extracting a shape at different levels of scale yields a mu...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Shape Subspace Model for Level Set-Based Object Tracking
Shape priors have been widely used for level set-based tracking to solve some difficult problems, such as noisy data, partial occlusions and weak contrast at the boundaries. In this paper, we propose a two-layer hierarchical level set-based tracking framework in which color and shape information are fused sequentially. In the first layer, the initial contour is evolved only with the color featu...
متن کاملA comparative study of curvature scale space and Fourier descriptors for shape-based image retrieval
Contour shape descriptors are among the important shape description methods. Fourier descriptors (FD) and curvature scale space descriptors (CSSD) are widely used as contour shape descriptors for image retrieval in the literature. In MPEG-7, CSSD has been proposed as one of the contour-based shape descriptors. However, no comprehensive comparison has been made between these two shape descriptor...
متن کاملBayesian hierarchical modeling of simply connected 2D shapes
Models for distributions of shapes contained within images can be widely used in biomedical applications ranging from tumor segmentation for targeted radiation therapy to classifying cells in a blood sample. Our focus is on hierarchical probability models of shape and size, described using 2D closed curves. Prevalent methods for analyzing a population of shapes assume that each shape is already...
