In this paper, we present a framework for automatic lumen segmentation in longitudinal cut images of radial artery from Intravascular ultrasound sequences. The segmentation is tackled as a classification problem where the contextual information is exploited by means of Conditional Random Fields (CRFs). A multi-class classification framework is proposed, and inference is achieved by combining binary CRFs according to the Error-Correcting-Output-Code technique. The results are validated against manually segmented sequences. Finally, the method is compared with other state-of-the-art classifiers.", optnote="MILAB;HuPBA", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=1228), last updated on Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:20:05 +0100", isbn="978-3-642-04270-6", issn="0302-9743", doi="10.1007/978-3-642-04271-3_105" }
