K-convexity Shape Priors for Segmentation
[chapter]
2018
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
For example, one approach segments an object via optimizing its k coverage by disjoint convex parts, which we show is highly sensitive to local minima. ...
Since an arbitrary shape can always be divided into convex parts, our regularization model restricts the number of such parts. Previous k-part shape priors are limited to disjoint parts. ...

Convex Shapes (CS) are common priors for optic disc and cup segmentation in eye fundus images. It is important to design proper techniques to represent convex shapes. ...
In the dual space, the convex shape prior can be guaranteed by a simple quadratic constraint on a binary representation of the shapes. ...

Convexity is known as an important cue in human vision. We propose shape convexity as a new high-order regularization constraint for binary image segmentation. ...

Specifically, our energy function is convex and incorporates shape prior information while simultaneously generating a probabilistic segmentation for multiple regions. ...

A-expansion for multiple "hedgehog" shapes
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
For example, star-convexity is popular for interactive single object segmentation due to simplicity and amenability to exact graph cut optimization. ...
A single click and +/-90 degrees normal orientation constraints reduce our hedgehog prior to star-convexity. If all hedgehogs come from single clicks then our approach defines multi-star prior. ...
In this case, we interpolate the vector field's orientation for every neighboring pixels and eliminate their edge constraint(s) if it were not consistent with the interpolated orientation, as shown in ...
