Contour Parametrization via Anisotropic Mean Curvature Flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new implementation of anisotropic mean curvature flow for contour recognition. Our procedure couples the mean curvature flow of planar closed smooth curves, with an external field from a potential of point-wise charges. This coupling constrains the motion when the curve matches a picture placed as background. We include a stability criteria for our numerical approximation.

On Surfaces of Prescribed F-Mean Curvature
Hypersurfaces of prescribed weighted mean curvature, or F -mean curvature, are introduced as critical immersions of anisotropic surface energies, thus generalizing minimal surfaces and surfaces of prescribed mean curvature. We first prove enclosure theorems in R for such surfaces in cylindrical boundary configurations. Then we derive a general second variation formula for the anisotropic surfac...
متن کاملShape Parametrization and Contour Curvature Using Method of Hurwitz-Radon Matrices
A method of Hurwitz-Radon Matrices (MHR) is proposed to be used in parametrization and interpolation of contours in the plane. Suitable parametrization leads to curvature calculations. Points with local maximum curvature are treated as feature points in object recognition and image analysis. The matrices are skew-symmetric and possess columns composed of orthogonal vectors. The operator of Hurw...
متن کاملRiemannian Mean Curvature Flow
In this paper we explicitly derive a level set formulation for mean curvature flow in a Riemannian metric space. This extends the traditional geodesic active contour framework which is based on conformal flows. Curve evolution for image segmentation can be posed as a Riemannian evolution process where the induced metric is related to the local structure tensor. Examples on both synthetic and re...
متن کاملOn Level Set Formulations for Anisotropic Mean Curvature Flow and Surface Diffusion
Anisotropic mean curvature motion and in particular anisotropic surface diffusion play a crucial role in the evolution of material interfaces. This evolution interacts with conservations laws in the adjacent phases on both sides of the interface and are frequently expected to undergo topological chances. Thus, a level set formulation is an appropriate way to describe the propagation. Here we re...
متن کاملParametric Approximation of Surface Clusters driven by Isotropic and Anisotropic Surface Energies
We present a variational formulation for the evolution of surface clusters in R3 by mean curvature flow, surface diffusion and their anisotropic variants. We introduce the triple junction line conditions that are induced by the considered gradient flows, and present weak formulations of these flows. In addition, we consider the case where a subset of the boundaries of these clusters are constra...
