Abstract:Abstract. Focus of research in Active contour models (ACM) area is mainly on development of various energy functions based on physical intuition. In this work, instead of designing a new energy function, we generate a multitude of contour candidates using various values of ACM parameters, assess their quality, and select the most suitable one for an object at hand. A random forest is trained to make contour quality assessments. We demonstrate experimentally superiority of the developed technique over three kno… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
