Abstract :
The strengths and the drawbacks of active contour models are described, and the absolute necessity of a criterion for assessing the solutions is pointed out. A method called snake growing, based on successive lengthenings of the snake, is proposed. The strength of this approach is that, at each stage, good convergence conditions are realized and initialization problems can be eliminated
