Abstract

Level set based approaches are widely used for image segmentation. One of the challenges in these methods is the incorporation of prior knowledge on the shape of the segmentation contour. In this paper a level set variant of active shape models is presented to provide shape prior. By incorporating this shape prior with Chan-Vese model, the improved level set model can account for prior shape knowledge quite efficiently and is used for multiphase segmentation. Promising results on multiple face contour extraction demonstrate the potential of our approach.
