A new selective segmentation active contour model is proposed in this paper that embeds an enhanced image information. By utilizing the average image of channels (AIC), which handles texture and noise, our model is capable to selectively segment and capture objects with nonuniform features. Moreover, the AIC is fitted with linear functions which are updated regularly to accurately guide the level set function to handle nonconstant intensities. Furthermore, we employ prior information in terms of geometrical constraints which work in alliance with image information to capture objects with intensity inhomogeneity. Experiments show that the proposed method achieves better results than the latest selective segmentation models. In addition, our approach maintains the performance on some hard real and synthetic color images. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
