Abstract

A fine-segmentation system for precisely locating object contours is described. The system consists of three stages, where in the last stage an active contour model (ACM) is employed to attain a final refinement of the results. Unlike other ACM techniques the approach proposed here uses information provided by morphological operators. In this way two different segmentation paradigms are combined.
