Abstract
This paper presents a new deformable model based on charged particle
dynamics and geometric contour propagation. It detects object
boundaries with a charged active contour that propagates under the
influence of Lorentz forces in an image-based electrostatic field.
We make use of level set representation to allow topological changes
to be handled naturally. Also, we build on the centre of divergence
concept towards automatic initialisation.
