Abstract

We use an unconditionally stable numerical scheme to implement a fast version of the geodesic active contour model. The proposed scheme is useful for object segmentation in images, like tracking moving objects in a sequence of images. The method is based on the Weickert-Romeney-Viergever [33] AOS scheme. It is applied at small regions, motivated by Adalsteinsson-Sethian [1] level set narrow band approach, and uses Sethian's fast marching method [26] for re-initialization. Experimental results demonstrate the power of the new method for tracking in color movies.
