Texture segmentation using active contour model incorporated with edge flow on MRI image

This paper are presented novel method of texture segmentation using active contour model incorporated with edge flow. The edge flow magnitude was used as a main force (external force) of active contour model. The texture segmentation from both active contour model with edge flow and traditional active contour model were compared. The results reveal that the active contour models with edge flow shown better quality of texture segmentation. In contrast with traditional method, it was not able to identify edge and texture of image. We also found that it works well in the MRI image segmentation and Ultrasound image segmentation.
