We consider the problem of extracting curve skeletons of three-dimensional, elongated objects given a noisy surface, which has applications in agricultural contexts such as extracting the branching structure of plants. We describe an…

Many edge and contour detection algorithms give a soft-value as an output and the final binary map is commonly obtained by applying an optimal threshold. In this paper, we propose a novel method to detect image contours from the extracted…

Medical image registration is crucial for various clinical and research applications including disease diagnosis or treatment planning which require alignment of images from different modalities, time points, or subjects. Traditional…

High-resolution optical imaging methods, such as confocal microscopy and full-field optical coherence tomography, capture flat optical sections of the sample. If the sample is curved, the optical field sections through several sample layers…

Learning a latent embedding to understand the underlying nature of data distribution is often formulated in Euclidean spaces with zero curvature. However, the success of the geometry constraints, posed in the embedding space, indicates that…

The fast growing deep learning technologies have become the main solution of many machine learning problems for medical image analysis. Deep convolution neural networks (CNNs), as one of the most important branch of the deep learning…

In this paper, we formulate a simple algorithm that detects contours around a region of interest in an image. After an initial smoothing, the method is based on viewing an image as a topographic surface and finding convex and/or concave…

We propose a novel approach to anomaly detection called Curvature Anomaly Detection (CAD) and Kernel CAD based on the idea of polyhedron curvature. Using the nearest neighbors for a point, we consider every data point as the vertex of a…

Detecting edges is a fundamental problem in computer vision with many applications, some involving very noisy images. While most edge detection methods are fast, they perform well only on relatively clean images. Indeed, edges in such…

Mapping complex input data into suitable lower dimensional manifolds is a common procedure in machine learning. This step is beneficial mainly for two reasons: (1) it reduces the data dimensionality and (2) it provides a new data…

Extracting parametric edge curves from point clouds is a fundamental problem in 3D vision and geometry processing. Existing approaches mainly rely on keypoint detection, a challenging procedure that tends to generate noisy output, making…

Automated detection of curvilinear structures, e.g., blood vessels or nerve fibres, from medical and biomedical images is a crucial early step in automatic image interpretation associated to the management of many diseases. Precise…

$Anomaly$ $detection$ problems (also called $change$-$point$ $detection$ problems) have been studied in data mining, statistics and computer science over the last several decades in applications such as medical condition monitoring and…

State-of-the-art methods for quantifying wear in cylinder liners of large internal combustion engines require disassembly and cutting of the liner. This is followed by laboratory-based high-resolution microscopic surface depth measurement…

The aim of this paper is to present a new method of approximation of planar data set using only arcs or segments. The first problem we are trying to solve is the following: the CNC machines can work only with simple curves (arcs or…

Object detection and recognition are important problems in computer vision. Since these problems are meta-heuristic, despite a lot of research, practically usable, intelligent, real-time, and dynamic object detection/recognition methods are…

It is challenging to detect curve texts due to their irregular shapes and varying sizes. In this paper, we first investigate the deficiency of the existing curve detection methods and then propose a novel Conditional Spatial Expansion (CSE)…

Obstacle Detection is a central problem for any robotic system, and critical for autonomous systems that travel at high speeds in unpredictable environment. This is often achieved through scene depth estimation, by various means. When fast…
