One of typical methods for extracting facial features from face images may be snake. Although snake is simple and fast, performance is very much affected by the initial contour and the shape of object to be extracted. In this paper, the enhanced snake is proposed to extract better facial features from 6 lip and mouth images as snake point is added to the midpoint of snake segment. It is shown that RSD of the proposed method is about 2.8% to 5.8% less than that of Greedy snake about 6 test face images. Since lesser RSD is especially obtained for contours with highly concavity, the contour is more accurately extracted.

The most famous algorithm of splitting and connecting Snake for extracting the boundary of multiple objects is the nearest method using the distance between snake points. It often can't split and connect Snake due to object topology. In this paper, its problem was discussed experimentally. The new algorithm using vector between Snake segment is proposed in order to split and connect Snake with complicated topology of objects. It is shown by experiment of two test images with 3 and 5 objects that the proposed one works better than the nearest one.

본 논문에서는 리본스네이크와 원형템플릿을 이용한 관상동맥추출 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 조영사진술로부터 획득된 관상동맥영상으로부터 동맥경화 유무를 쉽고 정확하게 진단하는데 필요한 혈관영역만을 추출하는 방법이다. 기존 방법에서는 혈관영역전체를 동일한 방법으로 추출하지만 본 논문에서는 혈관을 구성하는 각 세그먼트별로 적합한 추출방법을 적용한다. 즉 혈관에서 팽행선을 이루는 부분에 대해서는 항공사진 또는 위성영상에서 도로영역을 추출하는데 사용되는 리본스네이크를 적용하고 혈관의 분지부에 대해서는 원형템플릿과 혈관벽과의 교점의 개수를 분석하는 방범을 사용한다. 이때 원형템플릿의 중점과 교점들이 이루는 각도의 변화율을 고려함으로써 보다 정확한 혈관분지부를 검출할 수 있다.
