  • Abstract
    Greedy algorithm is an iterative method used for minimizing the energy functional of active contours, snakes. In this paper we will show that using a suitable set of search patterns instead of a full search can increase its speed. A search pattern set that expands the search space and minimizes a suggested computational complexity cost function achieves the maximum speed. Finally a comparative study is made to show the agreement of the theoretical derivation with experimental results
