Active contours

This plug-in implements fast active contours for image segmentation. Their representation in terms of spline curves allows for a natural and intuitive manipulation of the active contour through control points.

Based on Delgado-Gonzalo et al. "Snakes on a Plane: A Perfect Snap for Bioimage Analysis"

Automatically segment the boundary of a nucleus or cell starting from an approximate ROI. Supports 2D and 3D images and tracking of slowly moving cells. Ideal to study cell morphodynamics.

This is an icy package that encapsulates tools to design and implement parametric active contours. The package provides fast 2D and 3D filters for image preprocessing, and a framework to create and evolve snakes defined by a set of control points.
