| Abstract: |
The geometric potential force (GPF) used in segmentation of medical images is in general a robustmethod. However, calculation of the GPF is often time consuming and slow. In the present work, wepropose several methods for improving the GPF calculation and evaluate their efficiency against theoriginal method. Among different methods investigated, the procedure that combines Riesz transformand integration by part provides the fastest solution. Both static and dynamic images have been employedto demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed methods. |
