This paper describes an innovative aerial images segmentation algorithm. The algorithm is based upon the knowledge of image multiscale geometric analysis using contourlet transform, which can extract the image's intrinsic geometrical structure efficiently. The contourlet transform is introduced to represent the most distinguished and the rotation invariant features of the image. A modified Mumford–Shah model is applied to segment the aerial image by a multifeature level set evolution. To avoid possible local minima in the level set evolution, we adjust the weighting coefficients of the multiscale features in different evolution periods, i.e. the global features have bigger weighting coefficients at the beginning stages which roughly define the shape of the contour, then bigger weighting coefficients are assigned to the detailed features for segmenting the precise shape. When the algorithm is applied to segment the aerial images with several classes, satisfied experimental results are achieved by the proposed method.

Precise segmentation of abdomen diseases like tumor, cyst and stone are crucial in the design of a computer aided diagnostic system. The complexity of shapes and similarity of texture of disease with the surrounding tissues makes the segmentation of abdomen related diseases much more challenging. Thus, this paper is devoted to the segmentation of abdomen diseases using active contour models. The active contour models are formulated using the level-set method. Edge-based Distance Regularized Level Set Evolution (DRLSE) and region based Selective Binary and Gaussian Filtering Regularized Level Set (SBGFRLS) are used for segmentation of various abdomen diseases. These segmentation methods are applied on 60 CT images (20 images each of tumor, cyst and stone). Comparative analysis shows that edge-based active contour models are able to segment abdomen disease more accurately than region-based level set active contour model.
