An improved adaptive B-spline active contour model

This paper presents an adaptive B-spline active contour algorithm based on the active contour model, which makes the active contour approach the real image edge as close as possible. Combining the principles of the optimal edge detection filter, our active B-spline contour model improves the energy function, which speeds up the search procedure of the edge in an image and widens the automatic search scope.
