Applications of C-V Model without Re-Initialization to Extract Stone Slabs Contour

Abstract

C-V model without re-initialization was applied to detect the stone slab contour on simple and complex background respectively. Using the flexible initial curve which is closer to the object boundary, a stable and correct segmentation can be achieved rapidly. For the simple background, this model can exactly detect the stone slab contour. While for the complex background, the result somewhere is an approximation of object contour because the object and background have nearly the same intensity. Additional work will be done to perfect the results.
