Active contours driven by local Gaussian distribution fitting energy
This paper presents a new region-based active contour model in a variational level set formulation for image segmentation. In our model, the local image intensities are described by Gaussian distributions with different means and variances. We define a local Gaussian distribution fitting energy with a level set function and local means and variances as variables. The energy minimization is achi...
متن کاملActive contours driven by local image fitting energy
A new region-based active contour model that embeds the image local information is proposed in this paper. By introducing the local image fitting (LIF) energy to extract the local image information, our model is able to segment images with intensity inhomogeneities. Moreover, a novel method based on Gaussian filtering for variational level set is proposed to regularize the level set function. I...
متن کاملActive Contours Driven by Multi-Feature Gaussian Distribution Fitting Energy with Application to Vessel Segmentation
Active contour models are of great importance for image segmentation and can extract smooth and closed boundary contours of the desired objects with promising results. However, they cannot work well in the presence of intensity inhomogeneity. Hence, a novel region-based active contour model is proposed by taking image intensities and 'vesselness values' from local phase-based vesselness enhance...
متن کاملActive contours driven by local and global intensity fitting energy with application to brain MR image segmentation
In this paper, we propose an improved region-based active contour model in a variational level set formulation. We define an energy functional with a local intensity fitting term, which induces a local force to attract the contour and stops it at object boundaries, and an auxiliary global intensity fitting term, which drives the motion of the contour far away from object boundaries. Therefore, ...
متن کاملA Simple Method to improve Initialization Robustness for Active Contours driven by Local Region Fitting Energy
Active contour models based on local region fitting energy can segment images with intensity inhomogeneity effectively, but their segmentation results are easy to error if the initial contour is inappropriate. In this paper, we present a simple and universal method of improving the robustness of initial contour for these local fitting-based models. The core idea of proposed method is exchanging...
