Breast skin–air interface and pectoral muscle segmentation are usually first steps in all CAD applications on scanned as well as digital mammograms. Breast skin–air interface segmentation is much more difficult task when performed on scanned mammograms than on digital mammograms. In case of pectoral muscle segmentation, segmentation difficulty of analog and digital mammograms is usually similar...

We present a method to efficiently compute Wasserstein gradient flows. Our approach is based on generalization of the back-and-forth (BFM) introduced in Jacobs and Léger [ Numer. Math. 146 (2020) 513–544.]. solve optimal transport problems. evolve flow by solving dual problem JKO scheme. In general, much better behaved than primal problem. This allows us run large scale flows simulations for cl...

in analyzing a signal, especially a non-stationary signal, it is often necessarythe desired signal to be segmented into small epochs. segmentation can beperformed by splitting the signal at time instances where signal amplitude orfrequency change. in this paper, the signal is initially decomposed into signals withdifferent frequency bands using wavelet transform. then, fractal dimension of thed...

this paper presents, a hybrid method, low-resolution and high-resolution, for persian page segmentation. in the low-resolution page segmentation, a pyramidal image structure is constructed for multiscale analysis and segments document image to a set of regions. by high-resolution page segmentation, by connected components analysis, each region is segmented to homogeneous regions and identifying...

introduction: various computer assisted medical procedures such as dental implant, orthodontic planning, face, jaw and cosmetic surgeries require automatic quantification and volumetric visualization of teeth. in this regard, segmentation is a major step. material and methods: in this paper, inspired by our previous experiences and considering the anatomical knowledge of teeth and jaws, we prop...

iris recognition is one of the most reliable methods for identification. in general, itconsists of image acquisition, iris segmentation, feature extraction and matching. among them, iris segmentation has an important role on the performance of any iris recognition system. eyes nonlinear movement, occlusion, and specular reflection are main challenges for any iris segmentation method. in this pa...

variations in lighting are a problem for visual systems. in the current research, a new thresholding method using a 3d euclidian elliptical surface was defined and applied for plant detection purposes. the results showed that this method had lower type i error, type ii error, total error and mean square error compared with those of conventional segmentation methods. the method was evaluated for...
