Active Contour ModelsNames: Snake, Active Contour, Deformable Model
First introduced in 1987 by Kass et al, and gained popularity since then.Kass et al: Snakes: active contour models. International Journal of Computer Vision, 321-331, 1987
Initial line target
The contour is atracted to image boundares controlled by two forces (energies)
Internal force (itself)external force (image)

A contour is definded as a parameter curve
Definition of active contour energy
is defined based o image information, such image intensity, edge ect.
Elastic Energy is treated as an elastic rubber band possessing elastic potential energy. Responsible for shrinking of the contour
Rigid Energy is considered to behave like a thin metal strip giving rise to bending energy. Bending energy is minimum for a circle .

Gradient Vector Flow (GVF)Why need GVFThe original active contour can not move in many cases, such as• concavities• initial line is far away from object• initial line acrosses with object (has points inside and outside of object)
