Testing Pixel Level Snakes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pixel level snakes (PLS) are a cellular active contour technique inspired on the energy-based deformable models. They are based on a pixel-level discretization of the contours and a massively parallel computation on every contour cell which lead to a high speed processing without penalizing the efficiency of the contour location. PLS can be fully implemented in current focal plane processor arrays which make them a real alternative to classical deformable contour approaches.

Shortest Path Problem with Pixel Level Snakes: Application to Robot Path Planning
In this paper the application of the CNN-based active contour technique called pixellevel snakes (PLS) to find the shortest path in planar labyrinths is proposed. The strategy relies on multiple processing steps with a PLS algorithm implemented on the CNNUM. The proposal has been extended to approximate the shortest length path in sparse labyrinths suitable for applications like robot path plan...
متن کاملAutomatic snakes for robust lip boundaries extraction
Active contours or snakes are widely used in object segmentation for their ability to integrate features extraction and pixel candidate linking in a single energy minimizing process. But the sensitivity to parameters values and initialization is also a widely known problem. Performance of snakes can be enhanced by better initialization close to the desired solution. We present here a ne mouth r...

Les travaux présentés concernent la segmentation de zones hydriques par la méthode géométrique des contours actifs. Nous appliquons cette technique à des images radar et établissons un ensemble optimal de paramètres d’opération. Nos résultats montrent une délinéation précise des contours d’une zone hydrique à partir d’un simple pixel d’amorce. Nous montrons que la méthode est très stable par ra...
متن کاملSegmentation of Soft Tissue Using Texture Features and Gradient Snakes
Snakes have been used extensively in locating object boundaries. However, in the medical imaging field, many organs in close proximity have similar intensity values, limiting the usefulness of snakes in segmentation of abdominal organs. In this paper, we use the gradient vector flow snake to test the benefits of running snakes on texture features from a Markov Random Fields model as opposed to ...
متن کاملEstimating the Shape of a Moving Contour
Most tracking problems in computer vision can be concep tualized as nonlinear estimation problems, with the gray level of each pixel being an observation. The difficulty in making use of this point of view is that i) we lack a plausible model for the underlying stochastic processes, and ii) the resulting problems would be of very high dimension as well as being nonlinear, making them all but in...
