Design of experiments to set active contours
Jean-Jacques Rousselle, Nicole Vincent · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2003
Design of experiments has already been used for several years in different domains. It is often ignored in image processing. In this article, we would like to show that it has it place in this area where it is common to have parameters to be adjusted according to the images to be processed and which should remain valid for a family of images of the same type. These parameters are often numerous and they frequently interfere with each others. The use of an active contour requires several parameters rather delicate to be adjusted. The experimental research methodology allows, the factors to be considered to be listed and then, from these, the identification of those which are the most influential, in order to optimize them.
