Abstract

Snakes, or active contours, have been widely used to locate boundaries of image segmentation and computer vision. Problem associated with the existence of the local minima in the active contour energy function makes snakes have poor convergence in segmentation process; therefore, the poor convergence has limited applications. In this work, a fast minimization of snake model is used for an MRI knee image segmentation. This method provides a satisfied result. As a result, it is a good candidate for MRI image segmentation approach.
