If the balloon force is not large enough, the evolving contour may not able to Local image information is crucial for accurate segmen- pass some narrow parts of the object. If the balloon force is tation of images with intensity inhomogeneity. However, im- too large, the active contour is likely to pass through weak age information in local region is not embedded in popular object boundary. region-based active contour models, such as the piecewise Region-based active contour models have the following constant models. In this paper, we propose a region-based advantages over edge-based models. First, region-based active contour model that is able to utilize image informa- models do not utilize the image gradient and therefore have tion in local regions. The major contribution of this paper is
