Abstract :
Contour information always contributes much for object analysis in image processing. In this paper, a new method of constructing contours of skin regions is proposed. To obtain skin regions readily, a region splitting scheme is first adopted to generate adaptive grids in images. Based on the grids, initial contours are then constructed. Finally, the contours are refined according to the minimum energy principle. Experimental results show that the proposed method performs well in constructing contours of skin regions
