An active contour model applied to vascular image segmentation / 生物医学工程学杂志

ABSTRACT

In this paper is presented an active contour model applied to vascular image segmentation. This model can adaptively adjust the proportion of global and local intensity information in accord with the anastomosis status between local contour and boundaries. Our method is able to work effectively on segmentation of angiographic image with intensity inhomogeneity and noise. Compared with other methods, our method is not sensitive to initialization and it eliminates the need for manual adjustment of new parameter.
