Active Contours deals with the analysis of moving images - a topic of growing importance within the computer graphics industry. In particular it is concerned with understanding, specifying and learning prior models of varying strength and applying them to dynamic contours. Its aim is to develop and analyse these modelling tools in depth and within a consistent framework.
* Provides the first consistent overview of this important and emerging area in book form * Contains a full-colour, 20 page section which illustrates 10 applications of the technology described * Examples and bibliographic notes are included after each chapter, and tutorial code will be made available on the WWW
