Tubular Surface Evolution for Segmentation of the Cingulum Bundle from DW-MRI

This work provides a framework for modeling and extracting the Cingulum Bundle (CB) from Diffusion-Weighted Imagery (DW-MRI) of the brain. The CB is a tube-like structure in the brain that is of potentially of tremendous importance to clinicians …

A Variational Framework Combining Level-sets and Thresholding

Segmentation involves separating distinct regions in an image. In this note, we present a novel variational approach to perform this task. We propose an energy functional that naturally combines two segmentation techniques usually applied separately: …

A variational segmentation framework using active contours and thresholding

Segmentation involves separating distinct regions in an image. In this note, we present a novel variational approach to perform this task. We propose an energy functional that naturally combines two segmentation techniques usually applied separately: …

Finsler Level Set Segmentation for Imagery in Oriented Domains

In this paper, we present a novel directional level set segmentation framework employing the theory of Finsler active contours. The framework provides a natural way to perform segmentation of image data in oriented domains. We share examples of this …

Locally-Constrained Region-Based Methods for DW-MRI Segmentation

In this paper, we describe a method for segmenting fiber bundles from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images using a locally-constrained region based approach. From a pre-computed optimal path, the algorithm propagates outward capturing only …
