Differential Image Florest Transform (DIFT) **

Demostration of DIFT algorithm, to compute sequences of IFTs in a differential way.

Riverbed

Animation of Riverbed method, a optimum user-steered boundary tracking approach for image segmentation, which simulates the behavior of water flowing through a riverbed. The riverbed approach was devised using the image foresting transform with a never-exploited connectivity function. We analyze its properties in the derived image graphs and discuss its theoretical relation with other popular methods such as live wire and graph cuts.

This work presents a novel approach for curve tracing and user-steered boundary tracking in image segmentation, named Bandeirantes. The proposed approach was devised using Image Foresting Transform with unexplored and dynamic connectivity functions, which incorporate the internal energy of the paths, at any curvature scale, resulting in better segmentation of smooth-shaped objects and leading to a better curve tracing algorithm.
