A Novel Contour Model with Local and Global Segmentation Property

Xiaosheng Yu, Siqi Wang, Ying Wang, Xiaoliang Lei · 2020

In this paper, a novel region-based active contour model is presented which can selectively implement the local or global segmentation. A novel force field which uses the mean information inside and outside the contour is proposed to control the curve evolution. An efficient numerical schema is utilized to implement the proposed model in order to reduce the computational cost. It is validated on numerous synthetic images and real images, and the promising experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method has better performance than some traditional methods.
