Unsupervised Cardiac Image Segmentation via Multiswarm Active Contours with a Shape Prior

This paper presents a new unsupervised image segmentation method based on particle swarm optimization and scaled active contours with shape prior. The proposed method uses particle swarm optimization over a polar coordinate system to perform the segmentation task, increasing the searching capability...
