A marked point process model with strong prior shape information for extraction of multiple, arbitrarily-shaped objects (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Kulikova, M., Jermyn, I., Descombes, X., Zhizhina, E., & Zerubia, J. (2009). A marked point process model with strong prior shape information for extraction of multiple, arbitrarily-shaped objects. In K. Yetongnon, R. Chbeir, & A. Dipanda (Eds.), The Fifth International Conference on Signal Image Technology & Internet Based Systems SITIS 2009 ; proceedings (180-186). https://doi.org/10.1109/sitis.2009.38

We define a method for incorporating strong prior shape information into a recently extended Markov point process model for the extraction of arbitrarily-shaped objects from images. To estimate the optimal configuration of objects, the process is sam...

A Markov random field model for extracting near-circular shapes (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Blaskovics, T., Kato, Z., & Jermyn, I. (2009). A Markov random field model for extracting near-circular shapes. In 2009 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing ICIP 2009 ; proceedings (1073-1076). https://doi.org/10.1109/icip.2009.5413472

We propose a binary Markov random field (MRF) model that assigns high probability to regions in the image domain consisting of an unknown number of circles of a given radius. We construct the model by discretizing the `gas of circles' phase field mod... Read More about A Markov random field model for extracting near-circular shapes.

A phase field higher-order active contour model of directed networks (2009)
Conference Proceeding
El Ghoul, A., Jermyn, I., & Zerubia, J. (2009). A phase field higher-order active contour model of directed networks. In 2009 IEEE 12th International Conference on Computer Vision Workshops ; proceedings (398-404). https://doi.org/10.1109/iccvw.2009.5457672

The segmentation of directed networks is an important problem in many domains, e.g. medical imaging (vascular networks) and remote sensing (river networks). Directed networks carry a unidirectional flow in each branch, which leads to characteristic g... Read More about A phase field higher-order active contour model of directed networks.

Looking for shapes in two-dimensional, cluttered point clouds (2009)
Journal Article
Srivastava, A., & Jermyn, I. (2009). Looking for shapes in two-dimensional, cluttered point clouds. IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 31(9), 1616-1629. https://doi.org/10.1109/tpami.2008.223

We study the problem of identifying shape classes in point clouds. These clouds contain sampled points along contours and are corrupted by clutter and observation noise. Taking an analysis-by-synthesis approach, we simulate high-probability configura... Read More about Looking for shapes in two-dimensional, cluttered point clouds.

Inflection point model under phase field higher-order active contours for network extraction from VHR satellite images (2009)
Conference Proceeding
El Ghoul, A., Jermyn, I., & Zerubia, J. (2009). Inflection point model under phase field higher-order active contours for network extraction from VHR satellite images. In 17th European Signal Processing Conference 2009 ; proceedings (607-611)

The segmentation of networks is important in several imaging domains, and models incorporating prior shape knowledge are often essential for the automatic performance of this task. We incorporate such knowledge via phase fields and higher-order activ...

A higher-order active contour model of a `gas of circles' and its application to tree crown extraction (2009)
Journal Article

We present a model of a ‘gas of circles’: regions in the image domain composed of a unknown number of circles of approximately the same radius. The model has applications to medical, biological, nanotechnological, and remote sensing imaging. The mode...

In Final proceedings of the 2009 7th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc and Wireless Networks (WiOpt 2009) (1-5). https://doi.org/10.1109/wiopt.2009.5291591

We describe basic properties of Markov chains on finite state spaces and their application to Green functions, partial differential equations, and their (approximate) solution using random walks on a graph. Attention is paid to the influence of bound... Read More about Lattice Green functions and diffusion for modelling traffic routing in ad hoc networks.

Bayesian classification of shapes hidden in point cloud data (2009)

An interesting challenge in image processing is to classify shapes of polygons formed by selecting and ordering points in a 2D cluttered point cloud. This kind of data can result, for example, from a simple preprocessing of images containing objects... Read More about Bayesian classification of shapes hidden in point cloud data.
