Review of Parametric Active Contour Models in Image Processing

Abstract

The parametric active contour models are widely used in computer vision and image processing. This paper reviews the research status of parametric active contour models in the past decade. The parametric active contour models have gained wide attention for a long time. First, the traditional snake and some typical modified models are introduced. Second, the parametric active contour models applications in the field of image processing are reviewed. Finally, the future work of parametric active contour models is pointed out.
