Hybrid two-stage active contour method with region and edge information for intensity inhomogeneous image segmentation.

This paper presents a novel two-stage image segmentation method using an edge scaled energy functional based on local and global information for intensity inhomogeneous image segmentation. In the first stage, we integrate global intensity term with a geodesic edge term, which produces a preliminary...
