Features extraction using parametric snakes

Deals with the development and implementation of several deformable models (snakes) designed to extract some particular and important features in an image. First, the authors propose polygonal-like snakes which detect corners and triple junctions in an image. In the second part, they describe parametric snakes designed in order to extract curves of degree greater than one: segments, ellipses, superellipses and rational B-spline curves.<
