Structure-adaptive B-snake for segmenting complex objects
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we presented a structure-adaptive B-snake model for segmenting the complex structures in medical images. A strategy of automatic control-point insertion, adaptive to the structure of the studied object, has been proposed. Furthermore, a method of &mum mean square energy (MMSE) is developed to iteratively estimate the position of those control points in the B-snake model. By applying the proposed structure-adaptive B-snake model to mdical images, we show that our method is robust and accurate in object contour extraction.

Real-time Adaptive Color Snake Tracker Using Condensation Algorithm
Motion tracking and object segmentation are the most fundamental and critical problems in vision tasks such as motion analysis. An active contour model, snake, was developed as a useful segmenting and tracking tool for rigid or non-rigid objects. Snake is designed on the basis of snake energies. Segmenting and tracking can be executed successfully by energy minimization. In this research, two n...
متن کاملA B-snake model using statistical and geometric information-applications to medical images
A B-snake model using statistics information for segmenting 2D objects from medical images is presented in this paper. Based on our previous research work[10], a statistical model is proposed for our B-snake model, in order to use available priori knowledge about the object shape being studied. This method allows the deformation of B-snake to be influenced primarily by the most reliable matches...
متن کاملSegmentation of 3D Articulated Objects by Dynamic Grouping of Discontinuities
Segmentation of 3D articulated objects into a small number of parts is an important step for recognition of objects in 3D space. Range data provides ready-to-use information to derive a reasonably stable and accurate differential structure of the surfaces, which allow us to track discontinuities between these parts. We present a mixed and comprehensive approach to segmenting and extracting prot...
متن کاملFully automated segmentation of carotid and vertebral arteries from CTA
We propose a method for segmenting and labeling the main head and neck vessels (common, internal, external carotid, vertebral) from a contrast enhanced computed tomography angiography (CTA) volume. First, an initial centerline of each vessel is extracted. Next, the vessels are segmented using 3D active objects initialized using the first step. Finally, the true centerline is identified by smoot...
متن کاملAdaptive B-Snake model using shape and appearance information for object segmentation
A novel adaptive B-Spline deformable model is presented in this paper for object segmentation. Comparing with other B-Spline models, the proposed model has the following advantages. First, a fully automatic and affine-invariant strategy is proposed for landmark point assignment. Second, contrary to other B-Spline models that rely on predetermined number of control points, an automatic scheme fo...
