Scientists, engineers, biologists, and technology specialists universally leverage image segmentation to extract shape ensembles containing many thousands of curves representing patterns in observations and measurements. These large curve…

Statistical shape modeling is the computational process of discovering significant shape parameters from segmented anatomies captured by medical images (such as MRI and CT scans), which can fully describe subject-specific anatomy in the…

Ultrasound images are one of the most widely used techniques in clinical settings to analyze and detect different organs for study or diagnoses of diseases. The dependence on subjective opinions of experts such as radiologists calls for an…

Feature selection has drawn much attention over the last decades in machine learning because it can reduce data dimensionality while maintaining the original physical meaning of features, which enables better interpretability than feature…

Building footprint information is an essential ingredient for 3-D reconstruction of urban models. The automatic generation of building footprints from satellite images presents a considerable challenge due to the complexity of building…

Swept volume computation, the determination of regions occupied by moving objects, is essential in graphics, robotics, and manufacturing. Existing approaches either explicitly track surfaces, suffering from robustness issues under complex…

Medical image segmentation is an important step in medical image analysis. With the rapid development of convolutional neural network in image processing, deep learning has been used for medical image segmentation, such as optic disc…

Given a 3D surface defined by an elevation function on a 2D grid as well as non-spatial features observed at each pixel, the problem of surface segmentation aims to classify pixels into contiguous classes based on both non-spatial features…

Sparse coding (SC) is an automatic feature extraction and selection technique that is widely used in unsupervised learning. However, conventional SC vectorizes the input images, which breaks apart the local proximity of pixels and destructs…

This study proposes an automated data mining framework based on autoencoders and experimentally verifies its effectiveness in feature extraction and data dimensionality reduction. Through the encoding-decoding structure, the autoencoder can…

Large tensors are frequently encountered in various fields such as computer vision, scientific simulations, sensor networks, and data mining. However, these tensors are often too large for convenient processing, transfer, or storage.…

Ultrasound image compression by preserving speckle-based key information is a challenging task. In this paper, we introduce an ultrasound image compression framework with the ability to retain realism of speckle appearance despite achieving…

Document structure extraction has been a widely researched area for decades with recent works performing it as a semantic segmentation task over document images using fully-convolution networks. Such methods are limited by image resolution…

The paper introduces the weighted convolution, a novel approach to the convolution for signals defined on regular grids (e.g., 2D images) through the application of an optimal density function to scale the contribution of neighbouring…

Surveillance and surveying are two important applications of empirical research. A major part of terrain modelling is supported by photographic surveys which are used for capturing expansive natural surfaces using a wide range of sensors --…

In this work, a 2D contour generation algorithm is proposed for irregular regions. The contour of the physical domain is approximated by mesh segments using the known coordinates of the contour. For this purpose, the algorithm uses a…

Edges, boundaries and contours are important subjects of study in both computer graphics and computer vision. On one hand, they are the 2D elements that convey 3D shapes, on the other hand, they are indicative of occlusion events and thus…

Extracting a block of interest referred to as segmenting a specified block in an image and studying its characteristics is of general research interest, and could be a challenging if such a segmentation task has to be carried out directly…

Surface topography refers to the geometric micro-structure of a surface and defines its tactile characteristics (typically in the sub-millimeter range). High-resolution 3D scanning techniques developed recently enable the 3D reconstruction…

Image deblurring is a classical computer vision problem that aims to recover a sharp image from a blurred image. To solve this problem, existing methods apply the Encode-Decode architecture to design the complex networks to make a good…
