This paper proposes a method for following the contours of an object in an image with a roughly estimated initial contour. The mehtod is based on active contour model which converges the initial contour close to the objects boundary. In general, active contour models are suitable for applications of medical imaging such as extracting contours from images taken by using computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance images (MRI). We have found the proposed active contour model very useful in the area of anatomy, where the shape of a mouse embryo organ has to be reconstructed from a set of contours extracted from microscopic images. A texture representation of an image and texture energies in active contour models are utiliized, something which is presented for the first time in this paper. The proposed mehtod makes it possible to establish the shape of an object even when complex texture exists in or near the targent object.
