Technical Discussions related to Image Processing (image coding, compression, digital effects, mpeg, etc)
Hi I am new in this forum so first I would like first to introduce me. I am in my first year of my phD and I have a lot to learn yet. My project is related to segment the myocardium and I wanted to try with level sets to see how it works. I have implemented a paper and It fairly works not so perfect as I thought but it seems a good basis to keep working on . I attach some results of my own implementation of that paper. It does not look bad but still a lot to improve. I would like to ask you if you could know why it can appear this noise (output0.tif) like little curves when the region looks homogenius and if it would be worth it to force not to change topology and any idea how to implement that. Another problem I found in level sets is the forces that sometimes they are going in opposite directions and if I put low one force and increase another one the countour may separate from the contour I wish, so in your expertise do you use something to avoid that??. I try with some weights using the gradient multiplied by the shape prior energy but without luck. I would like to reduce the force from the points where the gradient is higuer and increase it in not convex points. If someone could give me an idea it would be nice.
