Thanks to their effectiveness, active contour models (ACMs) are of great interest for computer vision scientists. The level set methods (LSMs) refer to the class of geometric active contours. Comparing with the other ACMs, in addition to subpixel accuracy, it has the intrinsic ability to automatically handle topological changes. Nevertheless, the LSMs are computationally expensive. A solution for ...Show More
The newly introduced Kubelka-Munk Genetic Algorithm (KMGA) is a promising technique used in the assessment of skin lesions. Unfortunately, this method is computationally expensive due to its function inverting process. In the work of this paper, we design a Predictive Function Optimization Algorithm in order to improve the efficiency of KMGA by speeding up its convergence rate. Using this approach...Show More
In this work, we introduced a novel localized region based level set model which is simultaneously effective for heterogeneous object or/and background and robust against noise. As such, we propose to minimize an energy functional based on a selective local average, i.e., when computing the local average, instead to use the intensity of all the pixels surrounding a given pixel, we first give a loc...Show More
Very high resolution (VHR) satellite images provide a mass of detailed information which can be used for urban planning, mapping, security issues, or environmental monitoring. Nevertheless, the processing of this kind of image is timeconsuming, and extracting the needed information from among the huge quantity of data is a real challenge. For some applications such as natural disaster prevention a...Show More
Solving Level Set Equation (LSE) by using the classical methods, mostly based on finite differences approximations, costs a lot of computer time particularly when processing high dimensional large-scale data. In recent years, the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) has attracted much attention as a fast alternative approach for solving LSE. The LBM is explicit and highly parallelizable. In this paper, ...Show More
