Abstract | Snake has two major difficulties: one is the very narrow capture range and the other is the difficulty in moving into boundary concavities. One of its advances, gradient vector flow (GVF) Snake has the advantages of insensitivity to contour initialization and its ability to deform into concave part of the object compared to other deformable contour models. However, the performance of a GVF snake to model any arbitrary shape is heavily dependent upon objects with the highest intensity changes in the edge map, rigidity parameters' selection and having an uneven spacing problem. To alleviate these problems, a new contour extracting method, GVF Snakes combined with multi-scale Gaussian filter, is proposed in this paper. In this algorithm, in order to increase the capture range of the snake, the image is filtered by a two-dimensional Gaussian kernel with standard deviation sigma. Then, using a gradient vector flow model (GVF Snake) for the external force and increasing or decreasing snake points when it is necessary, sigma is changed in the order of degressive scale before the multi-scale GVF Snakes is used every time to extract accurate contour of target. Meanwhile, a Canny edge algorithm is applied to obtain the initial edge map and the dynamic expanding filter is used to eliminate the noise in the image. The experimental results for synthetic image and real image indicate that the method proposed in this paper is better than GVF Snake algorithm in fitting for deep boundary concavities and simplicity of parameters' selection |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
