Abstract
To discuss the relationship between active contours and contextual classification, a formal definition of the contour as well as a uniform approach to the all active contour methods are proposed first, and then a contextual classification problem is introduced and formalized. The equivalence relationship between contours and classifiers, thoroughly considered and illustrated by examples, proves to allow incorporation of the methods and techniques specific for the active contour approach to the contextual classification and vice versa.
