A Finite Element Computational Framework for Active Contours on Graphs
In this paper we present a new framework for the solution of active contour models on graphs. With the use of the Finite Element Method we generalize active contour models on graphs and reduce the problem from a partial differential equation to the solution of a sparse non-linear system. Additionally, we extend the proposed framework to solve models where the curve evolution is locally constrained around its current location. Based on the previous extension, we propose a fast algorithm for the solution of a wide range active contour models. Last, we present a supervised extension of Geodesic Active Contours for image segmentation and provide experimental evidence for the effectiveness of our framework.

Neuro-DynaStress: Predicting Dynamic Stress Distributions in Structural Components
Structural components are typically exposed to dynamic loading, such as earthquakes, wind, and explosions. Structural engineers should be able to conduct real-time analysis in the aftermath or during extreme disaster eve…
PDE Acceleration for Active Contours
Following the seminal work of Nesterov, accelerated optimization methods have been used to powerfully boost the performance of first-order, gradient-based parameter estimation in scenarios where second-order optimi…
