A Level Set-Based Model for Image Segmentation under Geometric Constraints and Data Approximation

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new model for image segmentation under geometric constraints. We define the geometric constraints and we give a minimization problem leading to a variational equation. This new model based on a minimal surface makes it possible to consider many different applications from image segmentation to data approximation.
