<p>Global and local image information is crucial for accurate segmentation of images with intensity inhomogeneity valuable minute details and multiple objects with various intensities. We propose a region-based active contour model which is able to utilize together local and global image information. The major contribution of this paper is to expand the LIF model which is includes only local image infofmation to a local and global model. The introduction of a new local and global signed pressure force function enables the extraction of accurate local and global image information and extracts multiple objects with several intensities. Several tests performed on some synthetic and real images indicate that our model is effective as well as less sensitivity to the initial contour location and less time compared with the related works. </p><p><em> </em></p>

Inhomogeneous images cannot be segmented quickly or accurately using local or global image information. To solve this problem, an image segmentation method using a novel active contour model that is based on an improved signed pressure force (SPF) function and a local image fitting (LIF) model is proposed in this paper, which is based on local and global image information. First, a weight function of the global grayscale means of the inside and outside of a contour curve is presented by combining the internal gray mean value with the external gray mean value, based on which a new SPF function is defined. The SPF function can segment blurred images and weak gradient images. Then, the LIF model is introduced by using local image information to segment intensity-inhomogeneous images. Subsequently, a weight function is established based on the local and global image information, and then the weight function is used to adjust the weights between the local information term and the global information term. Thus, a novel active contour model is presented, and an improved SPF- and LIF-based image segmentation (SPFLIF-IS) algorithm is developed based on that model. Experimental results show that the proposed method not only exhibits high robustness to the initial contour and noise but also effectively segments multiobjective images and images with intensity inhomogeneity and can analyze real images well.
