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.}, doi = {10.4467/20838476SI.15.011.3033}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/schedae-informaticae/article/potential-contour-ensembles} }
