A Gradient Descent Procedure for Variational Dynamic Surface Problems with Constraints
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many problems in image analysis and computer vision involving boundaries and regions can be cast in a variational formulation. This means that m-surfaces, e.g. curves and surfaces, are determined as minimizers of functionals using e.g. the variational level set method. In this paper we consider such variational problems with constraints given by functionals. We use the geometric interpretation of gradients for functionals to construct gradient descent evolutions for these constrained problems. The result is a generalization of the standard gradient projection method to an in nite-dimensional level set framework. The method is illustrated with examples and the results are valid for surfaces of any dimension.

Capturing the Behavior of Bubbles and Drops Using the Variational Level Set Approach1
We reproduce the general behavior of complicated bubble and droplet motions using the variational level set formulation introduced by the authors earlier. Our approach here ignores inertial effects; thus the motion is only correct as an approximation for very viscous problems. However, the steady states are true equilibrium solutions. Inertial forces will be added in future work. The problems i...

Towards a unified view of estimation: variational vs. statistical
A connection between the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation and the variational formulation based on the minimization of a given variational integral subject to some noise constraints is established in this paper. A MAP estimator which uses a Markov or a maximum entropy random field model for the prior distribution can be viewed as a minimizer of a variational problem. Inspired by the maximu...
