Implicit Active Contours Driven by Local and Global Image Fitting Energy for Image Segmentation and Target Localization

We propose a novel active contour model in a variational level set formulation for image segmentation and target localization. We combine a local image fitting term and a global image fitting term to drive the contour evolution. Our model can efficiently segment the images with intensity inhomogenei...
