Abstract

Active Contour Model is the most original algorithm among the class of Contour Finding methods. Here, we are testing its capability against detecting wound parameter given an image data. The performance is less satisfying, but through some tuning by adding an extra pre-processing step with image interpolation technique the result can be improved. This paper is reporting the details of how we find the weakness of Active Contour and its improvement through the solution proposed.
