Abstract

An improved image segmentation model was established to achieve accurate detection of target contours under high noise, low resolution, and uneven illumination environments. The new model is based on the variational level set algorithm, which improves the C–V (Chan and Vese) model and GAC (Geodesic Active Contour) model, fuses the contour and area models to segment the image information, that is, the edge information and region information of the image are fused into the same "energy" functional. According to the geometric characteristics of the curve, GAC model can effectively avoid re parameterization and light insensitivity in the evolution process, and CV model can effectively distinguish the fuzzy boundary of the image by maximizing the gray difference between the target and the background, it has strong anti-noise performance. By solving the steady-state solution of the partial differential equation, the optimal solution of the energy model is solved. New method can improve the calculation accuracy, topological structure adaptability, anti-noise ability, and reduce the light sensitivity effectively. Experiment shows that the new model has good robustness, high real-time performance, and it can effectively improve detection accuracy.
