Abstract :
The relationship between snake active contours and Kohonen networks in the scope of object boundary detection is discussed. It is shown that these algorithms share many common features and that they are special cases of a more general structure proposed, which provides a common framework for their study and enables the design of new iterative algorithms for boundary extraction
