Abstract
We propose a novel active contour model by incorporating particle
based electrostatic interactions into the geometric active contour
framework. The proposed active contour, embedded in level sets,
propagates under the joint influence of a boundary attraction force
and a boundary competition force. Unlike other contour models, the
proposed vector field dynamically adapts by updating itself when a
contour reaches a boundary. The model is then more invariant to
initialisation and possesses better convergence abilities.
Analytical and comparative results are presented on synthetic and
real images.
