An edge-based active contour model using an inflation/deflation force with a damping coefficient
作者：
Highlights：
• A much easier initialisation of the contour than in the basic model.
• Automatically removing self-crossings and loops of the active contour.
• Automatically dampening the inflation/deflation force of the moving nodes.
• Automatically adding new nodes and removing superfluous ones.
