Abstract
Active contour model or snake is widely used for segmentation method in the area of the image processing and computer vision. The main problem in the active contour model is that results are very dependent to the closet points of the numbers and the location in initial step. Especially, in case of balloon-like active contour model, the small region which consist of intial closet points are expanded until the edge is reached. It is a serious problem because the considered region are huge with limited points. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose the method that the number of closet points could be change based on the distance between points.
