EN161 - Image Processing and Understanding
Lab 8 - Active Contours
Due Date: see the lab listing
Overview:
Active Contours, can be an effective method for segmentation.  In this lab you will impliment one of these techniques.
Data:
 
Image A
Image B
Problem 1:
In this problem, you will use an active contour technique called livewire to segment a region of Images A and B.  The method is described in the handout.  

Submit an image showing the initialized contour, the intermediate contours from each iteration, and the final contour, all superimposed over the image.
 

Problem 2:
What advantages/disadvantages are there to active contours as compared to the segmentation techniques used fom Lab 7?
