Abstract :
In this paper, a new active surface based segmentation algorithm is proposed. We detail the regularization process that is conducted through a smoothing B-spline filtering of the mesh point displacements. The corresponding segmentation algorithm is presented and applied on medical data. The proposed segmentation method is fast and suitable to quadrangular meshes.
