Abstract

In this paper, a novel geometric active contour model based on the fractal dimension feature to extract the boundary of man-made target in nature scenes is presented. In order to suppress the nature clutters, an adaptive weighting function is defined using the fractal dimension feature. Then the weighting function is introduced into the geodesic active contour model to detect the boundary of man-made target. Curve driven by our proposed model can evolve gradually from the initial position to the boundary of man-made target without being disturbed by nature clutters, even if the initial curve is far away from the true boundary. Experimental results validate the effectiveness and feasibility of our model.
