Title
A Geometrically Deformable Contour Model
Abstract
In this paper, we present a discrete dynamic contour model which simulates a liquid expansion on homogeneous flat surface and the outlining of encountered obstacles. It is implemented as a radial expansion of an initial closed curve which determines a reference region. The curve is locally stopped when it attempts to expand in regions which do not exhibit the same features as the reference region. The main interesting properties of this model are : it does not require an initialization close to the solution, it is able to detect several objects of an image just by performing the initialization on the background of the image and it allows short processing times compared to methods based on optimization procedures. Nevertheless, this approach involves some delicate algorithmic problems that are exposed and solved. Experimental results on real and synthetic images are presented.
