contour models (snakelets) to mitigate the problem of noisy or broken edges produced by
classical edge detection algorithms, like Canny. The idea is to utilise the local continuity and
smoothness cues provided by strong edges and grow them to recover the missing edges.
This way, the strong edges are used to recover weak or missing edges by considering the
local edge structures, instead of blindly linking edge pixels based on a threshold. The …
