Abstract

The contour based technique has been proven to be an effective approach in object recognition. This paper describes an enhanced snakes algorithm (ESA) for contour detection. In ESA, a novel split and merge technique is added to the original snakes model so as to enhance the model to support concave object contour detection. A set of images is selected to evaluate the proposed algorithm and the results are encouraging.
