Abstract

This papers introduces a new approach to active deformable models. We use elements of pattern recognition theory to develop a more robust formulation for pressure snakes. The generic nature of the proposed model allows it to perform well on complex colored images. We show, by several examples, the enhanced performance of the snake under the new formulation, compared to the performance of other known snake formulations.
