Title
Skeleton-Based Shape Models with Pressure Forces: Application to Segmentation of Overlapping Leaves
Abstract
Deformables templates, because they contain a priori knowledge information on searched shapes, can be useful in the segmentation of complex images including partially occluded objects. In this paper, we propose a generic deformable template for shapes that are built around a flexible symmetry axis. The shape model is based on a parametrical skeleton, the distance between this skeleton and the contour points of the shape being determined by a parametrical envelope function. Various examples of skeleton and envelope models are given, and a general scheme for identification and matching suitable for a reusable code implementation is proposed. An application to image segmentation of partially overlapping leaves in natural outdoor conditions is then presented.
