Abstract

In this paper, we apply and evolutionary computation(EC), probabilistic optimization algorithm, to active contour. A number of problems exist associated with such as algorithm initialization, existence of local minima, non-convex search space, and the selection of model parameters in conventional models. We propose an adequate fitness function for these problems. The determination of fitness function adequate to active contour using EC is important in search capability. As a result of applying the proposed method to non-convex object shape, we improve the unstability and contraction phenomena, in nature, of snake generated in deformable contour optimization.
