List <strong>of</strong> Figures<br />
7.12 Mean (left) <strong>of</strong> the stochastic liver image and the variance <strong>of</strong> the stochastic Chan-Vese<br />
solution. In addition, we show the expected value contour at different time steps. . . 95<br />
7.13 Variance <strong>of</strong> the stochastic image to segment (left), the expected value is not depicted,<br />
because the expected value is an image with the same gray value at every pixel. On<br />
the right, the segmentation result is depicted on one realization (one sample) <strong>of</strong> the<br />
stochastic image to segment. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 95<br />
8.1 Left: Realizations <strong>of</strong> the stochastic contour obtained from the random walker segmentation<br />
with stochastic parameter. Right: Mean and variance <strong>of</strong> the stochastic<br />
contour obtained from the random walker segmentation with stochastic parameter. . . 99<br />

contour obtained from the random walker segmentation with stochastic parameter. . . 100<br />
8.3 Volume <strong>of</strong> the stochastic contour obtained from the random walker segmentation<br />
with stochastic parameter. The left curve shows the PDF <strong>of</strong> the object in the US<br />
image, the right curve the PDF <strong>of</strong> the liver in the liver data set. The PDFs are obtained<br />
<strong>using</strong> (6.12). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100<br />
8.4 Ambrosio-Tortorelli model applied on the expected value <strong>of</strong> the liver data set <strong>using</strong><br />
a stochastic parameter µ. The upper row shows the expected value (left) and the<br />
variance (right) <strong>of</strong> the smoothed image, the lower row the expected value (left) and<br />
the variance (right) <strong>of</strong> the phase field. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 102<br />

a stochastic parameter ε. The upper row shows the expected value (left) and the<br />

8.6 Result <strong>of</strong> the gradient-based segmentation with stochastic parameter b, i.e. with a<br />
stochastic curvature smoothing. The upper row shows the results for the CT data set,<br />
expected value <strong>of</strong> the image and contour realizations (left) and variance <strong>of</strong> the level<br />
set with contour realizations (right). The lower row shows the same results for the<br />
liver data set. In all figures we add Monte Carlo realizations <strong>of</strong> the stochastic object<br />
boundary. The red contour corresponds to a b = 0.75, yellow to b = 1.0 and blue to<br />
b = 1.25. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 104<br />
