Research on the Tracking Algorithm applied by Active Contour Models

Active Contour Model을 응용한 추적 알고리즘에 관한 연구

We performed a research to improve the performance of active bar model which is used in tracking algorithm. Active bar model is a simplified model of snake model. If we used the sctive bar model, the numerical procedure for real time tracking problem can be carried out faster than snake model. However the demerit of active bar algorithms is that we can't used the provious image data because each time it has to reconstruct the active bar. In this paper we proposed advanced algorithm for active bar model. The proposed model can improve tracking abilities by preserving the active bar during the process and changing the energy functional.
