Abstract

Curve evolution forms the basis of active contour algorithms used for image segmentation. In many applications the curve under evolution needs to be restricted to the shape space given by some example shapes, or some linear space given by a set of basis vectors. Also, when a curve evolution is carried out on a computer, the evolution is approximated by some suitable discretization. Here too, the evolution is implicitly carried out in some subspace and not in the space of all curves. Hence it is important to study curve evolution in subspace of all curves. We look at a formulation that describes curve evolution restricted to subspaces. We give numerical methods and examples of a formulation for curvature flow for curves restricted to the B-spline subspace.
