A Survey for Region-Based Level Set Image Segmentation

Partial differential equations are widely used in image segmentation. Meanwhile, topological change of Curve evolution, which is very difficult to solve previously, was effectively handled by level set method proposed by Osher and Sethian. In this paper, several region-based level set image segmentation models in recent years are described in details. By experimenting some of the models, the main limitations and development potential of this field are discussed.
