Iterative Methods for Obtaining Energy-Minimizing Parametric Snakes with Applications to Medical Imaging

After a brief survey on the parametric deformable models, we develop an iterative method based on the finite difference schemes in order to obtain energy-minimizing snakes. We estimate the approximation error, the residue, and the truncature error related to the corresponding algorithm, then we disc...
