A hybrid level set model for image segmentation.

Active contour models driven by local binary fitting energy can segment images with inhomogeneous intensity, while being prone to falling into a local minima. However, the segmentation result largely depends on the location of the initial contour. We propose an active contour model with global and l...

Sumario:Active contour models driven by local binary fitting energy can segment images with inhomogeneous intensity, while being prone to falling into a local minima. However, the segmentation result largely depends on the location of the initial contour. We propose an active contour model with global and local image information. The local information of the model is obtained by bilateral filters, which can also enhance the edge information while smoothing the image. The local fitting centers are calculated before the contour evolution, which can alleviate the iterative process and achieve fast image segmentation. The global information of the model is obtained by simplifying the C-V model, which can assist contour evolution, thereby increasing accuracy. Experimental results show that our algorithm is insensitive to the initial contour position, and has higher precision and speed.
