In this paper, a new parametric active contour called self-affine snake is proposed for medical image segmentation. It integrates the wavelet transform, parametric active contour (or snake), and self-affine mapping system to keep their strengths...

All image processing applications of the self-affine mapping system (SAMS) were developed based on the attraction and repellence behaviours. In this paper, we provide some analytical justifications for these properties. ...

In this paper, a novel parametric active contour is proposed for image segmentation. It integrates the wavelet transform and self-affine mapping system to effectively compute the external force of parametric active contours. ...
