Abstract: | We propose the evolution of curves in direction of their unit normal using a combined implicit and explicit spline representation
according to a given velocity field. In the implicit case we evolve a level set function for segmentation and geometry reconstruction
in 2D images. The level set approach allows for topological changes of the evolving curves. The evolution of the explicit
B-spline curve is driven by the Mumford–Shah functional. We are mainly concerned with the segmentation of images using active
contours. To get satisfactory results from the implicit evolution the optimal stopping time and the correct level of the evolving
function has to be estimated. We overcome this problem by using the combined evolution. |
