A common problem in most active contour methods is that the recursive searching scheme can only return a local optimal solution. Furthermore, the internal energy of the snake is n...
Abstract. Multiresolution techniques are often used to shorten the execution times of dynamic programming based deformable contour optimization methods by decreasing the image reso...
The extraction of contours using deformable models, such as snakes, is a problem of great interest in computer vision, particular in areas of medical imaging and tracking. Snakes ...

Finding contours in constrained search space is a well known problem. It is encountered in such areas as tracking objects in videos, or finding objects within defined boundaries....
This paper addresses the application of active contours or snakes for robust tracking of contours. Conventional snake approaches to tracking initialize the current frame snake wit...
