Fast Initialization of Active Contours Towards Practical Visual Interfaces for Human-Robot Interaction
The field of robotics is currently undergoing a change toward creation of robots that can naturally interact with humans. For achieving this, interactive robots must be endowed with natural interfaces that can sense and respond in real-time. Vision can provide handy information for this purpose by detecting and tracking human limbs to analyze gestures, actions and even emotions. However, real-t...
متن کاملAutomatic Initialization Active Contour Model for the Segmentation of the Chest Wall on Chest CT
OBJECTIVES Snake or active contours are extensively used in computer vision and medical image processing applications, and particularly to locate object boundaries. Yet problems associated with initialization and the poor convergence to boundary concavities have limited their utility. The new method of external force for active contours, which is called gradient vector flow (GVF), was recently ...
متن کاملPathway Extraction using Snakes with GPS Initialization
The extraction of features from digital images is one of the core problems facing computer vision. For GIS applications one of the most critical features to be extracted is pathways: roads and trails. To date, most methods are not general purpose; they are either application or image specific. One of the more general and popular methods is that of active contours or snakes due to Kass et al [2]...
متن کاملEfficient, Active 3D Acquisition, Based on a Pattern-Specific Snake
The paper discusses a structured light setup for fast, oneshot 3D acquisition. The projection pattern consists of equidistant, vertical stripes. The main problem is the determination of the stripe-boundaries. They are extracted with sub-pixel accuracy by a pattern-specific snake. An initialization procedure yields the rough contours. Sub-pixel accuracy is reached through an iterative relaxation...
متن کاملComparison of Three Different Image Forces for Active Contours on Abdominal Image Boundary Detection
Active contour, or snake, is an energy minimizing spline that is useful in image boundary detection. Active contours are stimulated by internal forces, image forces and external forces which maintain the shape of the contours while attract the contours to some desired features, usually edges. Problems in implementing active contours such as convergence and initialization have motivated research...
