Local fitting-based active contour models can segment images with intensity inhomogeneity effectively, but they are time-consuming and often fall into local minima. In this paper, we …
Y Li, G Cao, T Wang, Q Cui, B Wang - Information Sciences, 2020 - Elsevier
Local region-based active contour methods have been widely used to segment images with intensity inhomogeneity. However, this process can hardly segment images well when …

It is always difficult to accurately segment images with intensity inhomogeneity because most of the representative local-based models only take into account rough local information …
Z Ji, Y Xia, Q Sun, G Cao, Q Chen - Information Sciences, 2015 - Elsevier
Accurate image segmentation is an essential step in image analysis and understanding, where active contour models play an important part. Due to the noise, low contrast and …
S Liu, Y Peng - Pattern Recognition, 2012 - Elsevier
In this paper, a new region-based active contour model, namely local region-based Chan– Vese (LRCV) model, is proposed for image segmentation. By considering the image local …
