Active contours driven by local and global fitted image models for image segmentation robust to intensity inhomogeneity.

This paper presents a region-based active contour method for the segmentation of intensity inhomogeneous images using an energy functional based on local and global fitted images. A square image fitted model is defined by using both local and global fitted differences. Moreover, local and global sig...
