Potential Contour Ensembles
In the paper a contour ensemble image segmentation concept is presented. It bases on the previously observed relationship between contours and classifiers. Because of the specificity of the active contour segmentation the method requires a special procedure to obtain ensemble members with desired properties. In this work it is achieved by early stopping of randomized optimization algorithm. The results of the method are illustrated with a practical problem of heart ventricle segmentation by means of active potential contours. Automatically found contours may be of use in a process of pulmonary embolism diagnosis.
