A New B-Spline Based Active Contour Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a new B-spline based active contour model for extracting areas of interest in an image. The model is governed by original external and internal energies. A self-adaptive technique for energies regulation is used to improve the convergence in terms of quality and rapidity. An adding control point procedure is introduced in order to improve the active contour convergence towards desired image characteristics. Real time applications like object tracking and/or detection could be considered using this new proposed active contour model.

A FILTERED B-SPLINE MODEL OF SCANNED DIGITAL IMAGES
We present an approach for modeling and filtering digitally scanned images. The digital contour of an image is segmented to identify the linear segments, the nonlinear segments and critical corners. The nonlinear segments are modeled by B-splines. To remove the contour noise, we propose a weighted least q m s model to account for both the fitness of the splines as well as their approximate cur...
متن کاملA snake-based approach to accurate determination of both contact points and contact angles
We present a new method based on B-spline snakes (active contours) for measuring high-accuracy contact angles. In this approach, we avoid making physical assumptions by defining the contour of the drop as a versatile B-spline curve. When useful, we extend this curve by mirror symmetry so that we can take advantage of the reflection of the drop onto the substrate to detect the position of the co...
متن کاملB-spline active contours for fast video segmentation
Video segmentation is among the most important challenges of video processing and compression (MPEG-4 and MPEG-7). A drawback of classical methods is the computational cost due to the model complexity. In this paper we propose to use a B-Spline parametric contour to implement a region-based active contour segmentation. Hence we get a fast variational method based on active contours with an intr...
متن کاملSmoothing B-spline active contour for fast and robust image and video segmentation
This paper deals with fast image and video segmentation using active contours. Region based active contours using level-sets are powerful techniques for video segmentation but they suffer from large computational cost. A parametric active contour method based on B-Spline interpolation has been proposed in [1] to highly reduce the computational cost but this method is sensitive to noise. Here, w...

Video segmentation is among the most important problems of video processing and compression (standard MPEG-4 and MPEG-7). Unfortunately an important drawback for usual methods is the computation cost related to the model complexity. In this paper we propose to use a B-Splines parametric contour to implement a region-based active contours segmentation. Hence we get a fast variational method base...
