However, without considering the global information, LBF only considers the local information which leads to the sensitive with the?size,?shape?and?position?of?the?selected?initial?contours. To solve these problems，a “two-stage” active contour model is proposed by combining local and global information of images in this paper. Methods On the first stage, the degenerated Chan-Vese model and the global information (mean gray value) of the image are used to roughly but quickly locate the target. On the second stage, the local information (local Gaussian fitting) is employed to obtain a more accurately segmentation result. The initial contour of stage two is based on the zero level set function at the end of stage one. Results The experimental results show that the proposed method keeps the advantage of the LBF model: effective?for?inhomogeneous?images. Conclusions Meanwhile the improved model possess other improvements comparing with LBF: robust to the selection of initial contours (size,?shape?and?position) and to noise.
