Image data are often composed of two or more geometrically distinct constituents; in galaxy catalogs, for instance, one sees a mixture of pointlike structures (galaxy superclusters) and curvelike structures (filaments). It would be ideal to…
Segmentation, a useful/powerful technique in pattern recognition, is the process of identifying object outlines within images. There are a number of efficient algorithms for segmentation in Euclidean space that depend on the variational…
Modern data is customarily of multimodal nature, and analysis tasks typically require separation into the single components. Although a highly ill-posed problem, the morphological difference of these components sometimes allow a very…
