Abstract
A novel method of the active contour model is proposed by introducing the mathematical morphological operations on the “contour object”, which is a binary image object whose outline is the contour. The contours are shrunk and expanded by simply applying the mathematical morphological operations on the contour objects. The split and fusion of contour are also carried out by the mathematical morphological operations, and no additional procedure for split or fusion is required
