Multiple Active Contours Driven by Particle Swarm Optimization for Cardiac Medical Image Segmentation

This paper presents a novel image segmentation method based on multiple active contours driven by particle swarm optimization (MACPSO). The proposed method uses particle swarm optimization over a polar coordinate system to increase the energy-minimizing capability with respect to the traditional act...
