Speeding Up Active Mesh Segmentation by Local Termination of Nodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article outlines a procedure for speeding up segmentation of images using active mesh systems. Active meshes and other deformable models are very popular in image segmentation due to their ability to capture weak or missing boundary information; however, where strong edges exist, computations are still done after mesh nodes have settled on the boundary. This can lead to extra computational time whilst the system continues to deform completed regions of the mesh. We propose a local termination procedure, reducing these unnecessary computations and speeding up segmentation time with minimal loss of quality.

The stochastic active contour scheme (STACS) is a well-known and frequently-used approach for segmentation of the endocardium boundary in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images. However, it suffers significant difficulties with image inhomogeneity due to using a region-based term based on the global Gaussian probability density functions of the innerouter regions of the active ...
متن کاملSpeeding up the simulation of deformable objects through mesh improvement
We propose a novel mesh optimization approach that is useful for speeding up a simulation of finite elements-based deformable objects. The approach is based on a quality metric derived from the critical simulation time step of explicit time integration schemes (i.e., the stability limit for the integration of dynamic equations). Our mesh smoothing approach consists of a set of small and indepen...

A new mesh generation algorithm is proposed for mesh-based video coding. The still segmentation result of watershed segmentation is projected onto motion segmentation result of change region detection in proposed algorithm. Therefore, mesh presentation generated by our new method is able to reflect both spatial and temporal features of input video sequence. This experimental results show that m...
متن کاملView-dependent Tetrahedral Meshing and Rendering using Arbitrary Segments
We present a meshing and rendering framework for tetrahedral meshes that constructs a multi-resolution representation and uses this representation to adapt the mesh to rendering parameters. The mesh is partitioned into several segments which are simplified independently. A multi-resolution representation is constructed by merging simplified segments and again simplifying the merged segments. We...
