A Topology Preserving Method of Evolving Contours Based on Sparsity Constraint for Object Segmentation

Active contour models based on the level set method (LSM) are widely used in image segmentation. The major advantages of these models based on an LSM are topological flexibility and evolution robustness. However, topological flexibility is not always needed, and it could bring some negative effects...
