Accelerating active contour algorithms with the Gradient Diffusion Field
Active contours were proposed by Kass et al. as a way to represent the contours of an image. Although the method is simple, one of its shortcomings is its inability to converge in...

Gradient Vector Flow: A New External Force for Snakes
Snakes, or active contours, are used extensively in computer vision and image processing applications, particularly to locate object boundaries. Problems associated with initial...

Gradient Vector Flow Fast Geodesic Active Contours
This paper proposes a new front propagation flow for boundary extraction. The proposed framework is inspired by the geodesic active contour model and leads to a paradigm that is r...

Normalized Gradient Vector Diffusion and Image Segmentation
Abstract. In this paper, we present an approach for image segmentation, based on the existing Active Snake Model and Watershed-based Region Merging. Our algorithm includes initial ...

gradient vector flow
Active contours, or snakes, are computer-generated curves that move within images to find object boundaries. Its 3D version is often known as deformable models or active surfaces ...
