Luminița Vese

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Luminița Aura Vese is a Romanian professor of mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles, known for her research in image processing, including work on active contour models, level-set methods, image segmentation, and inpainting.

Contributions[]

The Chan–Vese method of image segmentation using active contours is named after her and Tony F. Chan; Chan and Vese published the method in 2001.[1]

The Vese–Osher and Osher–Solé–Vese models are optimization problems used for noise reduction of images, by decomposing an image into a sum of signal and noise in a way that optimizes a combination of measures of the smoothness of the image and the total amount of noise. They are again named after Vese, and her co-authors Stanley Osher and Andrés Solé on two papers published in 2003.[2]

With Carole Le Guyader, Vese is the author of the book Variational Methods in Image Processing (CRC Press, 2016).

Education and career[]

Vese earned bachelor's and master's degrees in 1992 at the West University of Timișoara in Romania. She then moved to the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis in France, earning a second master's degree in 1992 and completing her doctorate in 1997.[3] Her dissertation, Problèmes variationnels et EDP pour l’analyse d’image et l’évolution des courbes, was jointly supervised by Gilles Aubert and Michel Rascle.[4] After taking a temporary position at Paris Dauphine University, she joined the University of California, Los Angeles faculty in 2000.[3] She received a Sloan Research Fellowship in 2003.[5]
