Abstract(in English) Many different methods for extracting contours using active contour models (Snakes) have been proposed. One method is to use a snake that tries to conform to an a priori shape. This method is used to reduce the sensitivity of the snake to noise, however, one of problems in this method is that if the initial snake includes some objects, the snake can not extract the expected one. To overcome the problem of including objects, we propose to split the snake by using the area term method which has been proposed for extracting concave objects.
