Lung segmentation by new curve stopping function using geodesic active contour model
To detect lung area, this paper proposes curve stopping function that is based on CT coefficient of area of lung parenchyma instead of existing edge indication function. The proposed method was compared numerically using various measures and this method can detect better lung parenchyma region than existing methods. In addition, detecting procedure of the area of lung parenchyma was visually verified in lung images.
