Boundary detection in echocardiographic images by directional gradient vector flow
Snakes, or active contour models, have been widely used in image segmentation. In this paper, a new type of dynamic external force for snakes named directional gradient vector flow (DGVF) is proposed for the detection of left ventricular boundary from echocardiographic images. The new method is abl...
