STACS: new active contour scheme for cardiac MR image segmentation

Abstract: Abstract-The paper presents a novel stochastic active contour scheme (STACS) for automatic image segmentation designed to overcome some of the unique challenges in cardiac MR images such as problems with low contrast, papillary muscles, and turbulent blood flow. STACS minimizes an energy functional that combines stochastic region-based and edge-based information with shape priors of the heart and local properties of the contour. The minimization algorithm solves, by the level set method, the Euler-Lagrange equ… Show more

“…When the initial DM ≤62, the final segmentations have DM <80. In [27], the authors report that DM ≥80 indicates good agreement with manual segmentations for cardiac images. Table 4 summarizes the final segmentation results for different degrees of undersegmentation.…”

“…AAM and ASM (active shape models) were combined in [25], with extensions to the time domain in [26]. Some of the works on LV segmentation also show results for RV segmentation using deformable models [27,28] and atlasbased methods [29]. However, to our knowledge, none of the works use any kind of contextual information from the RV (or LV) to segment the LV (or RV).…”
