We propose a medical image segmentation approach based on the Active Shape Model theory. We apply this method for cervical vertebra detection. The main advantage of this approach is the application of a statistical model created after a training stage. Thus, the knowledge and interaction of the domain expert intervene in this approach. Our application allows the use of two different models, tha...

A novel feature based corner detection method is proposed to extract accurate corner positions than unstable corner points in existing algorithms such as Intensity-based Harris corner method and Edge-based corner method. The former algorithm cannot detect accurate corner positions in noisy environments while the latter cannot identify stable corners due to incomplete edge detection. The propose...
