Abstract

Active contour models for object tracking are investigated. The unbiased active contour algorithm, a model using edge feature based tracking, modifies the energy functions to correct the bias towards equal-distanced snaxels and small curvature, and eliminates the need to treat corners specially. Comparison with the William and Shah (1992) model shows substantial improvements.
