This scheme induces a limit on the step size Deltat, called the CFL restriction (Courant Friedrichs Levy) More precisely, writing equation (2) as Psi t H ( Psi x ; Psi y ; Psi z ) 0, where H is the Hamiltonian defined by: H(u; v; w) p u 2 v 2 w 2 :F; 16) the CFL ....

....2D active contours. Other related and 3D formulations have been proposed in the literature (e.g. 14, 15] Reviewing all of them is out of the scope of this paper. 5. 2 Deformable models based on curve shortening Our approach to geometric based active contours is strongly motivated by the papers [9, 41, 42, 43]. We present the basic results reported there now. Assume in the 2D case that the deforming curve C is given as a level set of a function u : IR 2 IR. Then, we can represent the deformation of C via the deformation of u. In this case, the proposed 2D deformation is obtained modifying the edge ....

The external force is given by OE, which is supposed to prevent the propagating curve from penetrating into the objects in the image.

....problems. See for example [36] for comments on other advantages and disadvantages of energy approaches of deforming contours, as well as an extended literature on snakes. Recently, novel geometric models of active contours were simultaneously proposed by Caselles et al. 7] and by Malladi et al. [35, 36, 37]. These models are based on the theory of curve evolution and geometric flows, which has received a large amount of attention from the image analysis community in recent years [18, 26, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 45, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53] In these active contours models, the curve is propagating ....

....the objects in the image. In other words, the classical (energy) approach of snakes can not directly deal with changes in topology. The topology of the initial curve will be the same as the one of the, possibly wrong, final curve. The model derived below, as well as the curve evolution models in [7, 35, 36, 37], overcomes this problem. Another possible problem of the energy based models is the need to select the parameters that control the trade off between smoothness and proximity to the object. Let us consider a particular class of snakes model where the rigidity coefficient is set to zero, that is, ....
