Statistical multiregion snake-based segmentation
Olivier Germain, Philippe Réfrégier · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2000
We have recently proposed a new statistical approach based on active contours (snakes) for the segmentation of a unique object in an image. In this article, we address the case of an image composed of several different regions. We propose an extension of snake to a deformable partition of the image with a fixed number of regions. This active grid allows a semi-supervised segmentation of the image.
