Md. Golam Moazzam · IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering · 2013

This paper presents a shape-based approach to curve evolution for the segmentation of medical images.Automatic interpretation of medical images is a very difficult problem in computer vision.Several methods have been developed in last decade to improve the segmentation performance in computer vision.A promising mathematical framework based on variational models and partial differential equations has been investigated to solve the image segmentation problem.This approach benefits from well-established mathematical theories that allow people to analyze, understand and extend segmentation methods.In this paper, a variational formulation is considered to the segmentation using active contours models.
