Abstract

In this note, we employ the geometric active contour models formulated in [5,11,19] for edge detection and segmentation to temporal MR cardiac images. The method is based on defining feature-based metrics on a given image which leads to a snake paradigm in which the feature of interest may be as the steady state of a curvature driven gradient flow. The implementation of the flow is done without level sets. This allow us to segment 4D sets directly, i.e., not as a series of 2D slices or a temporal series of 3D volumes.
