Finsler Geodesics Evolution Model for Region based Active Contours
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a new deformable model for image segmentation, by reformulating a region based active contours energy into a geodesic contour energy involving a Finsler metric. As a result, we solve the region based active contours energy minimization problem without resorting to level set functions, but using a robust Eikonal equation framework. By sampling a set of control points from the closed active contour in clockwise order, the active contours evolution problem is turned into finding a collection of minimal curves joining all the control points. Globally optimal minimal curves are obtained by solving an Eikonal equation, involving a Finsler metric, which is achieved at a modest numerical cost using a variant of the fast marching algorithm.

Morse Theory of Causal Geodesics in a Stationary Spacetime via Morse Theory of Geodesics of a Finsler Metric
We show that the index of a lightlike geodesic in a conformally standard stationary spacetime (M0 × R, g) is equal to the index of its spatial projection as a geodesic of a Finsler metric F on M0 associated to (M0×R, g). Moreover we obtain the Morse relations of lightlike geodesics connecting a point p to a curve γ(s) = (q0, s) by using Morse theory on the Finsler manifold (M0, F ). To this end...
متن کاملOn Geodesics of Finsler Metrics via Navigation Problem
This paper is devoted to a study of geodesics of Finsler metrics via Zermelo navigation. We give a geometric description of the geodesics of the Finsler metric produced from any Finsler metric and any homothetic field in terms of navigation representation, generalizing a result previously only known in the case of Randers metrics with constant S-curvature. As its application, we present explici...
متن کاملHomogeneous geodesics of left invariant Finsler metrics
In this paper, we study the set of homogeneous geodesics of a leftinvariant Finsler metric on Lie groups. We first give a simple criterion that characterizes geodesic vectors. As an application, we study some geometric properties of bi-invariant Finsler metrics on Lie groups. In particular a necessary and sufficient condition that left-invariant Randers metrics are of Berwald type is given. Fin...
متن کاملHomogeneous geodesics in homogeneous Finsler spaces
In this paper, we study homogeneous geodesics in homogeneous Finsler spaces. We first give a simple criterion that characterizes geodesic vectors. We show that the geodesics on a Lie group, relative to a bi-invariant Finsler metric, are the cosets of the one-parameter subgroups. The existence of infinitely many homogeneous geodesics on compact semi-simple Lie group is established. We introduce ...
متن کاملRemarks on Magnetic Flows and Magnetic Billiards, Finsler Metrics and a Magnetic Analog of Hilbert’s Fourth Problem
We interpret magnetic billiards as Finsler ones and describe an analog of the string construction for magnetic billiards. Finsler billiards for which the law “angle of incidence equals angle of reflection” are described. We characterize the Finsler metrics in the plane whose geodesics are circles of a fixed radius. This is a magnetic analog of Hilbert’s fourth problem asking to describe the Fin...
