Abstract
A device receives an image for an active contour model, where the active contour model includes a first module and a second module. The device receives an initial contour for the image and the active contour model, and executes a speed function of the first module, based on the image and the initial contour, to generate a speed function result. The device executes a numerical minimization method of the second module, based on the image and the speed function result, to generate a final contour, and provides the image and the final contour for display.
