A NEW EXTERNAL FORCE FOR ACTIVE CONTOUR MODEL: VIRTUAL ELECTRIC FIELD Hyun Keun Park1, Myung Jin Chung2 Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, KAIST 373-1 Guseong Dong Yuseong Gu Daejeon South Korea hkpark@cheonji.kaist.ac.kr1, mjchung@ee.kaist.ac.kr2 Abstract method makes the multi-resolution images, where the snake works from lower resolution images to higher Snake, known as an active contour model, is an energy- resolution images in turn. However though image minimizing deformable contour that converges the pyramid method gives more extension of the capture boundary of an object in image. For converging object’s range of the external force, the capture range of the boundary, snake is forced by internal force associated external force is still limited. The distance potential with the shape of contour and by external force invoked force field, proposed by Cohen et al [3], is another by the edges or the lines of the object. However the example for extending the limited capture range of the external force in traditional snake has some problems; external force. In the distance potential force field, limited capture range, sensitivity to initialization of external force is defined as the n
