A rigorous and efficient GPU implementation of level-set sparse field algorithm
Level-set methods have proven to be powerful and flexible tools in computer vision and medical imaging. Unfortunately, the flexibility of such models has historically resulted in long computational times and therefore limited clinical utility. In this context, we propose the first rigorous GPU implementation of the sparse field algorithm. We show that this model is able to reach high computational efficiency with no reduction in segmentation accuracy compared to its sequential counter-part.
