Geometric Level Set Methods in Imaging, Vision, and Graphics - Hardcover

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Level set methods are emerging techniques for representing, deforming, and recovering structures in an arbitrary dimension across different fields (mathematics, fluid dynamics, graphics, imaging, vision, etc.). Advances in numerical analysis have led to computationally efficient tools for computing and analyzing interface motion within level set frameworks in a host of application settings.

This authoritative edited survey provides readers with the state-of-the-art in applying level set techniques in the imaging, vision, and graphics domains, presenting thematically grouped chapters contributed by leading experts from both industry and academia. The work bridges the theoretical foundations of level set methods with the latest significant applications. It will assist readers with both the technical aspects of the field as well as its practical ramifications for areas like medical imaging, computer animation, film restoration, video surveillance, visual inspection, and a range of scientific and engineering disciplines.
