Convex formulation and global optimization for multimodal active contour segmentation
Jonas De Vylder, Filip Rooms, Wilfried R. Philips · Ghent University Academic Bibliography (Ghent University) · 2011
Region based active contours have been proven useful in a wide range of applications. This method however hampers from the drawback that in only allows bimodal segmentation, i.e. foreground and background are two regions with approximately uniform intensity. In this paper we propose a new active contour with convex energy which allows multimodal foreground and background.
