Image shape feature extraction by locating the exact shape boundaries has been applied in numerous research areas such as object tracking, content based image and video retrieval, robotics and biomedical imaging. Deformable active contour (snake) methods have been widely used. However, snake methods have limitations in requirement of manually initialized contour, slow convergence, random curve movement...
In this paper, a new snake external force is proposed as the gradient of the image local energy diffusion potential. The local energy is computed using a bank of orthogonal log Gabor filters. The proposed Local Energy Diffusion Field (LEDF) is computed by energy diffusion Partial Differential Equation (PDE). The results of the LEDF snake were compared with the GVF snake in terms of capture range,...
Segmentation of the left ventricle (LV) is a hot topic in cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) images analysis and still remains an open issue. In this paper, we propose a novel method, radial B-Snake model based on improved gradient vector flow (GVF), to segment LV automatically. Due to the left ventriclepsilas circle-like shape prior in short-axis view, the region of interest (ROI) of LV could be transformed...
