Segmentation

 

 

 

 

We present application of the semi-implicit complementary volume numerical scheme to solving level set formulation of Riemannian mean curvature flow of graphs in image segmentation, edge detection, missing boundary completion and subjective contour extraction. Our computational method is robust, efficient and stable without any restriction on a time step. The computational results related to medical image segmentation with partly missing boundaries and subjective contour extraction are presented.
