Enhanced medical image segmentation using novel level set evolution and efficient optimization by Samad Wali, Adil Jhangeer, Ariana Abdul Rahimzai, Samina Samina, Mudassar Imran

“…In this paper, we introduce a novel framework that addresses these challenges by leveraging adaptive level set evolution, enhanced with a unique edge indication function. Unlike prior edge-based algorithms, which frequently fail with noisy images and have large computing costs, our method incorporates an improved edge indicator term into the level set architecture, considerably improving performance on degraded images. …”
