Deformable Model Summary"
Explicit – Snakes ""> Tracking of vertices!> Compact shape representation!> O(N) computational complexity!> Extension to 3D is non-trivial!> Self-intersection is a problem!> Topological changes not easy to handle!> Difficult to parallelize!> Low memory requirements!> Corresponding points defined during
evolution!> User interaction to drag contour
possible during evolution!> Governed by physical connected mass
equations!
Implicit – Level-sets"> No tracking of vertices!> Discretised at integer multiple of image
resolution!> O(N^3) computational complexity!> Extension to n-D is natural!> No self intersection!> Topological changes are naturally
handled!> Parallelisation same as for low level
image processing!> Much higher memory requirements!> Correspondence has to be recomputed
in order to track zero levels!> User interaction difficult to implement
during evolution!> Governed by curve evolution theory!

Application: Skull-Stripping"
> Aim: Separate brain region from the rest in a pre-processing step!— Register atlas, propagate brain mask!— Take this as initialization for a deformable model, refine brain
segmentation by evolving a level-set towards brain-skull boundary!

> Deformable models: segmentation of object with weak shape constraints!— Explicit: snakes!— Implicit: level sets!
> Evolve contour after initialization towards region boundary based on energy minimization, energy usually consists of!— Image term (usually edge or region intensity properties)!— Shape term (usually length, curvature)!— External constraint (usually balloon force)!
