What is snake active contour?
The active contours technique, also called snakes, is an iterative region-growing image segmentation algorithm. Using the active contour algorithm, you specify initial curves on an image and then use the activecontour function to evolve the curves towards object boundaries.
What is active contour segmentation?
Active contour is a type of segmentation technique which can be defined as use of energy forces and constraints for segregation of the pixels of interest from the image for further processing and analysis. Active contour described as active model for the process of segmentation.
