IMAGE OBJECT TRACKING AND SEGMENTATION USING ACTIVE CONTOURS

摘要

A method of image object tracking and segmentation is provided. The method includes defining an initial contour for tracking an image object and partitioning the initial contour into a plurality of contour segments. The method also includes estimating a weighted length of each of the plurality of contour segments and generating a desired contour by converging the plurality of contour segments to a plurality of edges of the image object using the estimated weighted length.
