Image segmentation using active contours with image structure adaptive gradient vector flow external force

IntroductionGradient vector flow (GVF) has been proven as an effective external force for active contours. However, its smoothness constraint does not take the image structure into account, such that the GVF diffusion is isotropic and cannot preserve weak edges well.MethodsIn this article, an image...
