Variational methods in image processing Level Sets and Geodesic Active Contours Variational methods in image processing Level Sets and Geodesic Active Contours Week 8 Guy Gilboa Advanced Course
Level Set Concept Evolving a curve implicitly by evolving a function in a higher dimension:
Osher & Sethian Seminal paper: Osher, Stanley, and James A. Sethian. "Fronts propagating with curvature-dependent speed: algorithms based on Hamilton-Jacobi formulations." Journal of computational physics 79.1 (1988): (>9K citations). Stanley Osher & James Sethian
Level Sets – basic evolution Taken for Sethian’s site:
Initialization and Re-initialization
Geodesic Active Contours Taken from:
GAC in 3D, change of topology
Level Sets for evolving surfaces based on physical models Ron Fedkiw (CS, Stanford)
