In this paper, we propose effective method for texture segmentation using active contour model with edge flow vector. This technique was applied from previous active contour model that uses gradient vector flow as external force. It was observed that our method provided better results for texture segmentation while a traditional active contour model and active contour model with gradient vector flow were not capable to be used with texture image. Thus, texture image such as medical imaging can be identified using active contour model with edge flow vector.
