This paper addresses the problem of lip segmentation in color space, which is a crucial issue to the success of a lip-reading system. We present a new segmentation approach to lip ...
Abstract We present an effective framework for segmenting 3D shapes into meaningful components using the curve skeleton. Our algorithm identifies a number of critical points on the...
Grouping cues can affect the performance of segmentation greatly. In this paper, we show that superpixels (image segments) can provide powerful grouping cues to guide segmentation...
Deformable contours are now widely used in image segmentation, using different models, criteria and numeric schemes. Some theoretical comparisons between few deformable model met...
: In this paper, an image binarization method based on a new discriminant criterion is proposed. The criterion emphasizes much the homogeneity of the object gray level distribution...
