A Partition-Based Active Contour Model Incorporating Local Information for Image Segmentation

Active contour models are always designed on the assumption that images are approximated by regions with piecewise-constant intensities. This assumption, however, cannot be satisfied when describing intensity inhomogeneous images which frequently occur in real world images and induced considerable d...
