We propose an algorithm to segment 2D ellipses or 3D ellipsoids . This problem is of fundamental importance in various applications of cell biology. The algorithm consists of minimizing a contrast invariant energy defined on sets of non overlapping ellipsoids. This highly non convex problem is solved by combining a stochastic approach based on marked point processes and a graph-cut algorithm that selects the best admissible configuration. In order to accelerate the computing times, we delineate…

Segmentation of cell structures using Model-Based Set Covering with iterative reweighting
TLDR
A new method for cell segmentation is presented which combines a marked point process model with a combinatorics-based method of finding global optima and is found to improve upon previous approaches.
Segmentation of cell nuclei using intensity-based model fitting and sequential convex programming
TLDR
A convex model-based approach for the segmentation of cell nuclei, which exploits both shape and intensity information, is introduced, which relies on a fast second-order optimization scheme to solve a sequence of convex programs and estimate the globally optimal solution based on the image intensities.
Globally optimal segmentation of cell nuclei in fluorescence microscopy images using shape and intensity information
Application of the Maximum Flow–Minimum Cut Algorithm to Segmentation and Clustering of Materials Datasets
TLDR
This work proposes the application of graph cutting as a versatile technique that can provide solutions to numerous materials data analysis problems so long as a network of nodes can be effectively established within the model system.

Planetary crater detection and registration using marked point processes, graph cut algorithms, and wavelet transforms
TLDR
This paper addresses the problem of semi-automatic image registration on planetary images by proposing a joint feature-based and area-based approach, which matches the craters extracted from the images based on a generalized Hausdorff distance.

Crater Detection and Registration of Planetary Images Through Marked Point Processes, Multiscale Decomposition, and Region-Based Analysis
TLDR
A new framework for crater detection based on marked point processes (MPPs) that can be used for planetary image registration is developed and two different methods—one based on birth–death processes and region-of-interest analysis and the other based on graph cuts and decimated wavelets—are developed within the proposed framework.

This framework is developed to address image processing problems consisting in detecting a configuration of objects from a digital image and proves the convergence of the continuous process and proposes a discrete scheme converging to the continuous case.

We survey the use of Markov models from stochastic geometry as priors in ‘high-level’ computer vision, in direct analogy with the use of discrete Markov random fields in ‘low-level’ vision. There are…

Introductory Lectures on Convex Optimization - A Basic Course
TLDR
It was in the middle of the 1980s, when the seminal paper by Kar markar opened a new epoch in nonlinear optimization, and it became more and more common that the new methods were provided with a complexity analysis, which was considered a better justification of their efficiency than computational experiments.
