WORKSHOP ON                              
Context-based Active Contour Models

 

CONVENTION CENTER GRAZ, AUSTRIA
APRIL 3, 2003
 
 

SCOPE

Active contour models represent a powerful tool to treat physical objects in images. Recently, there has been a trend towards the convergence of active shape-based object description and statistical approaches to interpret objects at a higher level of representation. Examples for emerging techniques are cognition driven active contours, active perception systems, active animals, m-reps, etc. An integration of low and high levels of object representation is crucial in order establish complex models of the real world, which are used in applications such as medical image analysis, recovering motion parameters of moving non-rigid objects, or interpreting a scene.

The workshop aims at presenting the latest developments in the field of active shape models within the context of cognitive vision systems. The workshop is thought to provide an adequate setting for researchers in the different applications areas to interact and interchange ideas thus realizing a genuine transfer of specific knowledge.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

·             Increasing the performance of active shape models

·             Beyond data-driven active contours

·             Active contours as a basis for cognitive vision systems

·             Cognition-driven active contours
