  • An adaptive term adjusts the driving force, allowing curves to move towards object boundaries regardless of initial placement.
  • A weighted length term ensures curve smoothness and penalizes discontinuities.
  • A distance rectifying flow prevents level set function deviation, avoiding re-initialization.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method successfully segments objects without strict initial curve placement (inside or outside).
    • Experiments on synthetic and CT serial images demonstrate the method's feasibility.
    • The technique shows efficiency and robustness in image segmentation tasks.
    • Avoidance of re-initialization significantly reduces computational time.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel image segmentation method is effective and efficient for serial medical images.
    • The adaptive driving force and distance rectifying flow offer significant advantages over traditional methods.
    • This technique holds promise for improving medical image analysis and related applications.
