Title
Active Contour Method with Separate Global Translation and Local Deformation
Abstract
Active Contour can describe targets accurately and has been widely used in image segmentation and target tracking. Its main drawback is huge computation that is still not well resolved. In this paper, by analyzing curve gradient flow, the evolution of active contour is divided into two steps: global translation and local deformation. When the curve is far away from the object, the curve just does the translation motion. This method can optimize the curve evolving path and efficiency, and then the computation cost is largely reduced. Our experiments show that our method can segment and track object effectively.
