Level set and fast marching methods in image processing and computer vision
@article{Malladi1996LevelSA, title={Level set and fast marching methods in image processing and computer vision}, author={Ravi Malladi and James A. Sethian}, journal={Proceedings of 3rd IEEE International Conference on Image Processing}, year={1996}, volume={1}, pages={489-492 vol.1} }
Level set methods have been used in a variety of settings for problems in computer vision and image processing. [] Key Method We show the application of these techniques to a collection of problems, including image denoising and enhancement schemes based on curvature-controlled diffusion with automatic stopping and hierarchical scales, extremely fast shape-from-shading schemes, and shape recovery in medical imaging.
