Variational shape prior segmentation with an initial curve based on image registration technique

作者：

Highlights：

• Attraction term attracts a shape prior function from the background into the object.

• Image registration with multi-region segmentation provides a proper initial curve.

• FFD with cubic B-spline of a shape prior function allows more precise segmentation.
