Robust active contours for fast image segmentation
Keyan Ding, Guirong Weng · Electronics Letters · 2016
A robust active contour model is proposed for fast image segmentation. By introducing the intensity fitting energy in a local region, the proposed model can segment the images with intensity inhomogeneity efficiently. Since the local fitting functions are computed before curve evolution, the proposed model is insensitive to initialisation and has a high segmentation efficiency. Experiments on several synthetic and real images have proved the effectiveness of the proposed model.
