A new deformable model, the charged fluid model (CFM), that uses the simulation of charged elements was used to segment medical images. Poisson's equation was used to guide the evolution of the CFM in two steps. In the first step, the elements of the charged fluid were distributed along the propagating interface until electrostatic equilibrium was achieved. In the second step, the propagating front of the charged fluid was deformed in response to the image gradient. The CFM provided sub-pixel pr ...[more]
