Active contour on the basis of inertia
Proceedings of the 2004 ACM symposium on Applied computing, 2004This paper present a method for image segmentation, which is an adaptation of the classical active contours algorithm, also called "snakes", using a new internal energy approach. The classical model computes the energy function based on changes in gradient values, thus determining the detection of the object's edges.

2011 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2011), 2011
This paper presents a Fuzzy Active Contour Model for image segmentation using three variations. The proposed models are based on the Fuzzy Energy-Based Active Contour model introduced by Krinidis and Chatzis. First, an update criteria that changes only localized membership values at each iteration is introduced.

A fast algorithm for active contours
[1990] Proceedings Third International Conference on Computer Vision, 2002A method of controlling snakes that combines speed, flexibility, and simplicity is presented. It is compared to the original variational calculus method of M. Kass et al. (1987) and the dynamic programming method developed by A.A. Amini et al. (1988) and found to be comparable in final results, while being faster than dynamic programming and more ...

Convergence analysis of active contours
Image and Vision Computing, 2008Active contours are very useful tools in image segmentation and object tracking in video sequences. The practical implementations are built with an iterative algorithm based on a second order system defined in the spatial domain, where the elasticity and rigidity are the static parameters for its characterization and mass and damping are the dynamic ...

From Inpainting to Active Contours
International Journal of Computer Vision, 2005We introduce a novel type of region based active contour using image inpainting. Usual region based active contours assume that the image is divided into several semantically meaningful regions and attempt to differentiate them through recovering dynamically statistical optimal parameters for each region. In case when perceptually distinct regions have

Implicit Active-Contouring with MRF
2009In this paper, we present a new image segmentation method based on energy minimization for iteratively evolving an implicit active contour. Methods for active contour evolution is important in many applications ranging from video post-processing to medical imaging, where a single object must be chosen from a multi-object collection containing objects ...

Geometric models for active contours
Proceedings., International Conference on Image Processing, 2002A geometric formulation of active contours for 2D, 3D boundary detection and motion tracking is presented. The technique is based on active contours evolving in time according to intrinsic geometric measures of the image. The evolving contours naturally split and merge, allowing the simultaneous detection of several objects and both interior and ...

Testing Geodesic Active Contours
2007Active Contours are a widely used Pattern Recognition technique. Classical Active Contours are curves evolutionate by minimizing an energy function. However, they can detect only one o bject within an image with several objects, and the solution is highly dependent on parameters in its formulation.

On active contour models and balloons
CVGIP: Image Understanding, 1991Summary: The use of energy-minimizing curves, known as ``snakes'', to extract features of interest in images has been introduced by \textit{M. Kass}, \textit{A. Witkin} and \textit{D. Terzopoulos} [Int. J. Comput. Vision 1, 321-331 (1987)]. We present a model of deformation which solves some of the problems encountered with the original method.

Proceedings CVPR IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 1996
A framework for object segmentation in vector-valued images is presented in this paper. The first scheme proposed is based on geometric active contours moving towards the objects to be detected in the vector-valued image. Objects boundaries are obtained as geodesics or minimal weighted distance curves in a Riemannian space.
