A Hybrid Snake for Selective Contour Detection
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract: A hybrid snake algorithm is presented in this paper. The procedure is based on combining a dynamic balloon force, a GVF force and a traditional gradient force. The balloon force is modified in order to increase the capture range and convergence speed of active contour in a dynamic way. Our interest is to give the balloon force a bigger preponderance at the early of procedure and a smaller weight at the later stage. The superposition of effects get through the GVF force and the gradient force is ruled by a user parameter. Our GVF force is computed for a decreased number of iterations during the calculation process and so the diffusion field is located near edges only. In this manner, we can use this snake for segmentation of objects with strong edges inside or outside. The synthetic experiments and real-time face tracking application presented in this paper prove the feasibility of this hybrid snake.

Medical Image segmentation deals with segmentation of tumor in CT and MR images for improved quality in medical diagnosis. Geometric Vector Flow (GVF) enhances the concave object extraction capability. However, it suffers from high computational requirement and sensitiveness to noise. This paper intends to combine watershed algorithm with GVF snake model to reduce the computational complexity, ...
متن کاملRoad Extraction from High Resolution Satellite Images
Roads are significant objects of an infrastructure and the extraction of roads from aerial and satellite images are important for different applications such as automated map generation and change detection. Roads are also important to detect other structures such as buildings and urban areas. In this paper, the road extraction approach is based on Active Contour Models for 1-meter resolution g...
متن کاملInterpolation Snakes with Shape Prior for Border Detection in Ultrasound Images
We design interpolation snakes (or I-Snakes ) for border detection in ultrasound images. We argue that interpolation snakes are better suited for ultrasound than other snakes because the control points are on the curve. This allows for arclength parameterization of the snake, and for spatial hard constraints by fixing one or more control points on the spline. Moreover, built into the snake ener...
متن کاملA Fast Snake Algorithm for Tracking Multiple Objects
A Snake is an active contour for representing object contours. Traditional snake algorithms are often used to represent the contour of a single object. However, if there is more than one object in the image, the snake model must be adaptive to determine the corresponding contour of each object. Also, the previous initialized snake contours risk getting the wrong results when tracking multiple o...
متن کاملGeometric Snakes for Triangular Meshes
Feature detection is important in various mesh processing techniques, such as mesh editing, mesh morphing, mesh compression, and mesh signal processing. In spite of much research in computer vision, automatic feature detection even for images still remains a difficult problem. To avoid this difficulty, semi-automatic or interactive techniques for image feature detection have been investigated. ...
