Abstract EN
A novel hybrid region-based active contour model is presented to segment medical images with intensity inhomogeneity.
The energy functional for the proposed model consists of three weighted terms: global term, local term, and regularization term.
The total energy is incorporated into a level set formulation with a level set regularization term, from which a curve evolution equation is derived for energy minimization.
Experiments on some synthetic and real images demonstrate that our model is more efficient compared with the localizing region-based active contours (LRBAC) method, proposed by Lankton, and more robust compared with the Chan-Vese (C-V) active contour model.
