چکیده
Snake is an active contour model for representing image contours. In this paper, we propose an e$cient active contour model which can represent highly irregular boundaries. The algorithm includes an adaptive force along the contour, and adjusts the number of points for the snake according to the desired boundary. A better stopping criterion based on the area of a closed contour is devised. Furthermore, in this method, a contour can break automatically to represent the contours of multiple objects. Experiments show that this method can extract object's boundaries accurately and e$ciently. ( 2000 Pattern Recognition Society. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

View-based recognition of real-world textures
A new method for recognizing 3D textured surfaces is proposed. Textures are modeled with multiple histograms of microtextons, instead of more macroscopic textons used in earlier studies. The micro-textons are extracted with the recently proposed multiresolution local binary pattern operator. Our approach has many advantages compared to the earlier approaches and provides the leading performance...
متن کاملA fuzzy hybrid learning algorithm for radial basis function neural network with application in human face recognition
This paper presents a fuzzy hybrid learning algorithm (FHLA) for the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN). The method determines the number of hidden neurons in the RBFNN structure by using cluster validity indices with majority rule while the characteristics of the hidden neurons are initialized based on advanced fuzzy clustering. The FHLA combines the gradient method and the linear le...
متن کاملLip contour extraction from color images using a deformable model
The use of visual information from lip movements can improve the accuracy and robustness of a speech recognition system. In this paper, a region-based lip contour extraction algorithm based on deformable model is proposed. The algorithm employs a stochastic cost function to partition a color lip image into lip and non-lip regions such that the joint probability of the two regions is maximized. ...
