Summary:
One of image segmentation methods, snake algorithm is realized using Cellular Automaton (CA). In this study, we propose CA based Pixel Level Snakes (PLS) which utilizes curvature of active contour. For the calculation of curvature, the local curvature counting algorithm is used. This algorithm is based on CA, and therefore this method can be easily implemented CA dedicated hardware, CAM2. The experimental result shows that our proposed method can obtain equal or better performance than the previous one.
