Region-based Fitting of Overlapping Ellipses and its application to cells segmentation
作者：
Highlights：
• 2D shape representation with an automatically determined number of overlapping ellipses
• Applied on Segmentation of potentially overlapping cells
• Good balance between model complexity and shape coverage
• Experiments on more than 8000 2D shapes show the superiority of RFOVE.
• RFOVE achieves better shape coverage with simpler models than DEFA.
