Abstract :
How to deal with variations of image contents, which contributes to uncertainty about shapes, locations, and boundaries of objects of interest in the image, is one of key issues in solving real-world image analysis and processing problems. A method is presented to automatically identify the target objects from images, with variations, low contrast, low resolution, and low signal-to-noise ratio, for tracking, quantitatively measurement, and diagnosis
