Active contours driven by local and global probability distributions

Danyi Li, Weifeng Li, Qingmin Liao

Abstract: Highlights•We propose a novel local based signed pressure force (SPF) function.•Both the parametric and non-parametric methods are adopted in this framework.•A data-based prior probability is introduced to assist the detection of details.•A global force is incorporated into this local framework to form a hybrid model.
