A theoretical and numerical study of a phase field higher-order active contour model of directed networks (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
El Ghoul, A., Jermyn, I., & Zerubia, J. (2010, November). A theoretical and numerical study of a phase field higher-order active contour model of directed networks. Presented at 10th Asian Conference on Computer Vision, Queenstown

We address the problem of quasi-automatic extraction of directed networks, which have characteristic geometric features, from images. To include the necessary prior knowledge about these geometric features, we use a phase field higher-order active co...

Segmentation of networks from VHR remote sensing images using a directed phase field HOAC model (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
El Ghoul, A., Jermyn, I., & Zerubia, J. (2010, September). Segmentation of networks from VHR remote sensing images using a directed phase field HOAC model. Presented at ISPRS-Technical-Commission III Symposium on Photogrammetric Computer Vision and Image Analysis (PCV), Saint Mande

We propose a new algorithm for network segmentation from very high resolution (VHR) remote sensing images. The algorithm performs this task quasi-automatically, that is, with no human intervention except to fix some parameters. The task is made diffi...
