    This study extends active contours to segment multiple image regions, maintaining the quality of two-phase segmentation. It also provides methods for optimizing region count and contour initialization.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Vision
    • Image Segmentation
    • Computational Imaging

    Background:

    • Level set methods are popular for image segmentation due to their robust handling of regions and boundaries.
    • Current level set methods face challenges in segmenting images with more than two regions.
    • Extending active contours to multi-region segmentation preserves desirable properties.

    Discussion:

    • This work presents a simplified approach to extend active contours for multi-region image segmentation.
    • The proposed method maintains the segmentation quality typically observed in two-phase level set models.
    • Strategies for determining the optimal number of regions and initializing contours are introduced.

    Key Insights:

    • A novel, simplified method for extending active contours to segment multiple image regions is introduced.
