Abstract(in English) Abstract : This papef proposes a new method for automatic extraction and tracking complex contours like human contours. We assume that a complex contour consists of contour segments whose spatial coordinates and the gradient of intensity in direction normal to themselves are smOoth. In our approach every contour segment is tracked by an Active Contour Model(ACM).In conventional methods J initial positions of ACMs need to be given manudlly. In contrast, our method can estimate the initial positons of ACMs and track contours automatically, where whether contours are connected or not is judged based on AIC. Our method can find contour segments occluded so that tracking is stopped. Experimental results using a reaI image sequence show promising res ults .
