Abstract
Active contour models are powerful tool for object contour extraction. This paper addresses some problems of conventional snake models, and proposes a shakable snake based on a greedy snake. By using a method of shaking a snake, the proposed snake algorithm can attracts the snake to the image contours rapidly and accurately. We show that good results can be obtained by shaking a snake.
