Liver Segmentation Based on Snakes Model and Improved GrowCut Algorithm in Abdominal CT Image

A novel method based on Snakes Model and GrowCut algorithm is proposed to segment liver region in abdominal CT images. First, according to the traditional GrowCut method, a pretreatment process using K-means algorithm is conducted to reduce the running time. Then, the segmentation result of our impr...
