Ear segmentation using Active Contours Model / Mohd Zulhelmi Muhamud Naim

Active Contours Model is an image processing technique which is efficient for automatic ear detection on a side face ear image. The technique first separates ear regions from the rest of the image and then envelops the ear within the image. Ear detection process involves three major steps. Initializ...
