A layered approach is designed to address many of the real-world problems that an inexpensive lane detection system would encounter. A region of interest is first extracted from the image followed by an enhancement procedure to manipulate the shape of the lane markers. The extracted region is then converted to binary using an adaptive threshold. A model based line detection system hypothesizes lane position. Finally, an iterated matched filtering scheme estimates the final lane position. The developed system shows good performance when tested on real-world data that contains fluctuating illumination and a variety of traffic conditions.

This paper introduces an adaptive level set method for 3D segmentation of colon tissue in CT colonography filled with air and opacified fluid. First, most of the opacified liquid is removed by a threshold value. The closed contours are propagated toward the desired 3D region boundaries through the iterative evolution of the adaptive level sets function. The proposed method has been tested on 22 real CT colonography datasets with various pathologies, and the segmentation accuracy has achieved 98.40%.
We propose a new technique in which line segments and elliptical arcs are used as features for recognizing image patterns. By using this approach, the process of locating a model in a given image is efficient since th...

This paper addresses the shape-based segmentation problem using level sets. In particular, we propose a fast algorithm to solve the piece-wise constant Chan-Vese segmentation model with shape priors and labeling functions. Instead of directly solving the underlying PDE, we calculate the energy and check how it changes when we move image points from inside the region enclosed by the evolving interface to the outside region and vice-vera. This algorithm is then extended to the case of multi-phase Chan-Vese model, with multiple selective shape priors and a corresponding labeling function for each prior. This makes our algorithm different from that in [1] and other similar works in different aspects. On one hand, our algorithm is not restricted to two regions, but allows segmentation into several regions. On the other hand, more than one shape prior can be taken into account in our implementation. In addition, the proposed algorithm improves dramatically the computational speed. Experimental results, on both synthetic and real images, demonstrate the performance of our algorithm and the computational improvements it offers.

This paper presents a new symmetric shape from shading (SFS) algorithm where the self-ratio image irradiance equation proposed by Zhao and Chellappa is formulated as a partial differential equation (PDE) with a Dirichlet boundary condition. This PDE is solved using the Lax-Friedrichs sweeping method. The potential of the proposed symmetric SFS algorithm is demonstrated by several experiments on synthetic and real data. As an application, the proposed algorithm is used for 3-D face reconstruction.

We propose a new approach that approximates an empirical probability density function of scalar data with a linear combination of Gaussians (LCG). The proposed algorithm approximates the marginal density of each class using a Gaussian distribution. Number of the classes and their distributions parameters are estimated using a new Akaike Information Criterion (AlC)-type criterion and the Expectation- Maximization (EM) approach. Each class does not follow perfect Gaussian distribution so we refine the initial LCG model using a modified EM algorithm. The modified EM algorithm approximates the marginal density of each class using a LCG with positive and negative components. Experiments in segmenting multimodal medical images show that the developed technique gives promising accurate results.
