A hybrid level set model for image segmentation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Active contour models driven by local binary fitting energy can segment images with inhomogeneous intensity, while being prone to falling into a local minima. However, the segmentation result largely depends on the location of the initial contour.

Facial contour extraction method of underground personnel

open access: yesGong-kuang zidonghua, 2015
For low identification ratio of attendance system of coal mine caused by difficult facial contour extraction of underground personnel, a facial contour extraction method was proposed based on active contour model (Snake model) and active shape model (ASM)

A Novel Adaptive Fractional Differential Active Contour Image Segmentation Method

open access: yesFractal and Fractional, 2022
When the image is affected by strong noise and uneven intensity, the traditional active contour models often cannot obtain accurate results. In this paper, a novel adaptive fractional differential active contour image segmentation method is proposed to ...

Non‐local weighted fuzzy energy‐based active contour model with level set evolution starting with a constant function

open access: yesIET Image Processing, 2019
In the traditional active contour models, global region‐based methods fail to segment images with intensity inhomogeneity, and local region‐based methods are sensitive to initial contour.

Gradient descent with adaptive momentum for active contour models

open access: yesIET Computer Vision, 2014
In active contour models (snakes), various vector force fields replacing the gradient of the original external energy in the equations of motion are a popular way to extract the object boundary.

A Topology Preserving Method of Evolving Contours Based on Sparsity Constraint for Object Segmentation

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2017
Active contour models based on the level set method (LSM) are widely used in image segmentation. The major advantages of these models based on an LSM are topological flexibility and evolution robustness.

Automatic Segmentation of Abdominal Aortic Aneurism (AAA) By Using Active Contour Models

open access: yesScientific Journal of Informatics, 2020
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a disease that is caused by dilation of the aortic wall. Dilation of the aortic wall will affect the size of the diameter of lumen and the aorta.

An Active Contour Model without Edges [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
In this paper, we propose a new model for active contours to detect objects in a given image, based on techniques of curve evolution, Mumford-Shah functional for segmentation and level sets. Our model can detect objects whose boundaries are not necessarily defined by gradient.

A Model Based Dual Active Contour [PDF]

open access: yesProcedings 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 novel model-based dual active contour, a method of integrating global shape information with two active contours, has been developed to overcome the primary problems; sensitivity to ...

Robust Evolution Method of Active Contour Models and Application in Segmentation of Image Sequence

open access: yesJournal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2018
Active contour models are widely used in image segmentation. In order to obtain ideal object boundary, researchers utilize various information to define new models for image segmentation. However, the models could not meet all scenes of image.
