The proposed variational segmentation method is based on a region-based active contour of the Chan-Vese model augmented with a frame-to-frame interaction term as a shape prior. The interaction term is constructed to be pose-invariant by minimizing over a group of transformations and to allow moderate deformation in the shape of the contour. The segmentation method is then coupled with a novel variational contour matching formulation between two consecutive contours which gives a mapping of the intensities from the interior of the previous contour to the next. With this information occlusions can be detected and located using deviations from predicted intensities and the missing intensities in the occluded regions can be reconstructed. After reconstructing the occluded regions in the novel image, the segmentation can then be improved. Experimental results on synthetic and real image sequences are shown.}, project = {VISIONTRAIN} } @InProceedings{ gustavsson.ea:08a, author = {David Gustavsson and Kim Steenstrup Pedersen and Mads Nielsen}, title = {Multi-Scale Natural Images: a database and some statistics}, booktitle = {Proceedings of 16'th Danish Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (DSAGM) 2008}, year = {2008}, editor = {Søren I.

The method is based on a region-based active contour model of the Chan-Vese, augmented with a frame-to-frame interaction term which uses the segmentation result from the previous frame as a shape prior. This method has given good results despite the presence of minor occlusions, but can not handle significant occlusions. We have extended this approach by adding a registration step between two consecutive contours. This registration step is based on a novel variational formulation and gives also a mapping of the intensities from the interior of the previous contour to the next. With this information occlusions can be detected from deviations from predicted intensities and the missing intensities in the occluded areas can then be reconstructed. The performance of the method is shown with experiments on synthetic and real image sequences.}, project = {VISIONTRAIN} } @InProceedings{ gustavsson.pedersen.nielsen:07a, author = {David Gustavsson and Kim Steenstrup Pedersen and Mads Nielsen}, title = {Geometric and Texture Inpainting by Gibbs Sampling}, booktitle = {Swedish Symposium on Image Analysis (SSBA '07)}, year = {2007}, month = mar, abstract = {This paper discuss a method suitable for inpainting both large scale geometric structures and more stochastic texture components. Image inpainting concerns the problem of reconstructing the intensity contents inside regions of missing data. Common techniques for solving this problem are methods based on variational calculus and based on statistical methods. Variationalmethods are good at reconstructing large scale geometric structures but have a tendency to smooth away texture. On the contrary statistical methods can reproduce texture faithfully but fails to reconstruct large scale structures. In this paper we use the well-known FRAME (Filters, Random Fields and Maximum Entropy) for inpainting. We introduce a temperature term in the learned FRAME Gibbs distribution. By sampling using different temperature in the FRAME Gibbs distribution, different contents of the image are reconstructed. We propose a two step method for inpainting using FRAME. First the geometric structure of the image is reconstructed by sampling from a cooled Gibbs distribution, then the stochastic component is reconstructed by sample froma heated Gibbs distribution. Both steps in the reconstruction process are necessary, and contribute in two very different ways to the appearance of the reconstruction.}, project = {VISIONTRAIN} } @InProceedings{ gustavsson.pedersen.nielsen:07b, author = {David Gustavsson and Kim Steenstrup Pedersen and Mads Nielsen}, title = {Image Inpainting by Cooling and Heating}, booktitle = {Scandinavian Conference on Image Analysis ({SCIA} '07)}, publisher = {Springer Verlag}, series = {Lecture Notes in Computer Science}, volume = {4522}, year = {2007}, pages = {591--600}, month = jun, editor = {Bjarne Ersb{\o}ll and Kim Steenstrup Pedersen}, abstract = {We discuss a method suitable for inpainting both large scale geometric structures and stochastic texture components.
