Regular spatial B-spline active contour for fast video segmentation

This paper deals with fast video segmentation using active contours. Region-based active contours is a powerful technique for video segmentation. However most of these methods are implemented using level-sets. Although level-set methods provide accurate segmentation, they suffer from large computational cost. The proposed method uses BSpline parametric method to highly improve the computation cost. Our method removes irregular sampling assumption. It combines multi-resolution regular sampling and length penalty.
