Deformable models approach for range image segmentation

Khaldi Amine, Merouani Hayet Farida

Abstract


In this work, we propose two new approaches for range image segmentation (level set and adaptive contour) for planar and curved surface scenes, then, the segmentation results obtained are compared with the results of our previous work [1]. Despite the good experimental results on the simple objects, we note that the adaptive and classical snake methods have a few limitations and cannot detect discontinuities in curvatures and some items do not always converge, however, the level set method is very efficient for segmenting range images with curvature and with complex forms.

Keywords


Range image, segmentation, deformable model, active contour, snake, level set.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
