Motion-based Object Segmentation using Active Contours

The segmentation of an image sequence into meaningful regions is an important early step in computer vision. We describe a motion segmentation algorithm that tracks contours through an image sequence using active contours. This approach eliminates the problems of feature correspondence and feature drop-outs encountered with other feature-based tracking techniques. It also allows accurate recove...

Active Contours without Edges

1 ACTIVE CONTOURS WITHOUT EDGES Chan and Vese [1] proposed an approximation for the MS segmentation model by following the level-set based curve evolution formulation [2, 3]. Level sets provide an implicit contour representation where an evolving curve is represented with the zerolevel line of a level set function (Figure 1). The basic aim of Chan and Vese (CV) model is to partition a given ima...

Comparison of Region Based Active Contour Models

Image segmentation is a fundamental task in image analysis responsible for partitioning an image into multiple sub-regions based on a desired feature. Active contour models (ACMs) have been widely used as attractive image segmentation methods because they always can achieve sub-pixel accuracy, provide closed and smooth contours/surfaces and can also be treated as automatic segmentation while th...

Computing the Reeb Graph for Triangle Meshes with Active Contours

This paper illustrates a novel method to compute the Reeb graph for triangle meshes. The algorithm is based on the definition of discrete, active contours as counterparts of continuous level lines. Active contours are made up of edges and vertices with multiple presence and implicitly maintain a faithful representation of the level lines, even in case of coarse meshes with higher genus. This ap...
