MAC: Magnetostatic Active Contour Model
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 2008 We propose an active contour model using an external force field that is based on magnetostatics and hypothesized magnetic interactions between the active contour and object boundaries.

A vessel active contour model for vascular segmentation. [PDF]
Biomed Res Int, 2014 This paper proposes a vessel active contour model based on local intensity weighting and a vessel vector field. Firstly, the energy function we define is evaluated along the evolving curve instead of all image points, and the function value at each point on the curve is based on the interior and exterior weighted means in a local neighborhood of the ...

ORACM: Online region-based active contour model
Expert Systems With Applications, 2013 A new online region-based active contour model (ORACM) is proposed in this paper. The classical geodesic active contour (GAC) model has only local segmentation property, although the Chan-Vese (C-V) model possesses global.

A Model Based Dual Active Contour [PDF]
Procedings of the British Machine Vision Conference 1994, 1994 Active contours are now established as a technique for extracting salient contours from an image. Unfortunately the original technique suffers from many problems.

A shape constrained parametric active contour model for breast contour detection. [PDF]
Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc, 2012 Quantitative measures of breast morphology can help a breast cancer survivor to understand outcomes of reconstructive surgeries. One bottleneck of quantifying breast morphology is that there are only a few reliable automation algorithms for detecting the breast contour.

Region scalable active contour model with global constraint
Knowledge-Based Systems, 2017 © 2016 Existing Active Contour methods suffer from the deficiencies of initialization sensitivity, slow convergence, and being insufficient in the presence of image noise and inhomogeneity. To address these problems, this paper proposes a region scalable

A DSP-BASED active contour model [PDF]
, 2004 In this paper a DSP-based active contour model for tracking of the endocardium in a sequence of echocardiographic images is presented. If a contour is available in the first frame of a sequence, the contours in the subsequent frames are segmented ...

Multigrid Geometric Active Contour Models [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2007 Geometric active contour models are very popular partial differential equation-based tools in image analysis and computer vision. We present a new multigrid algorithm for the fast evolution of level-set-based geometric active contours and compare it with other established numerical schemes. We overcome the main bottleneck associated with most numerical
