A novel method of active contours with shape prior knowledge is presented in this research in order to improve its robustness for partially occluded objects. Our prior is based on a free …
In this paper, we describe a statistical model for the gradient vector field of the gray level in images validated by different experiments. Moreover, we present a global constrained …
