Fractional Differentiation-Based Active Contour Model Driven by Local Intensity Fitting Energy

A novel active contour model is proposed for segmentation images with inhomogeneity. Firstly, fractional order filter is defined by eight convolution masks corresponding to the image orientation in the eight compass directions. Then, the fractional order differentiation image is obtained and applied...
