Enhancement of morphological snake based segmentation by imparting image attachment through scale-space continuity

作者:

Highlights:

• Multi-scale morphological approach to curve evolution is suggested for segmentation.

• We embed scale-space continuity in morphological snakes.

• Morphological operators ensure fast curve evolution.

• Scale-space continuity ensures smoother segmentation near edges.

• Extraction improvement near noisy pixels is observed with scale-space continuity.
