Gradient Vector Flow Snake C. Xu and J. L. Prince Project by Charlie Neo
Problem Description • Finding Object Boundaries • Snake (Active Contour) • Initialization problem • Poor convergence to boundaries concavities • C. Xu and J. L. Prince, ``Snakes, Shapes, and Gradient Vector Flow,'' IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 7(3), pp. 359-369, March 1998.
Algorithm (GVF) • Edge map f (x,y) from Image • Gradient vector flow field • That minimizes energy function • GVF can be found by solving Euler equation as a function of time
Implementation • Setup the iterative solution
Implementation cont. • Force balance equation. • Using GVF field as the internal force.
Future Work • Better initialization method. • Optimization.
