Snakes with class

17 Dec 2009

Implementation of snakes using a class to enable automatic display of the snake over an image.

File Information
Description	This package implements snakes (active contours) through a class `dip_snake`. The function `snakeminimize` modifies the snake to move it to a lower energy configuration, which typically corresponds to the snake following edges in an image. When the semicolon is left off a statement that returns an object of this class, the snake is automatically drawn on top of the image in the current figure window. `snakeminimize` is very general in the sense that it can be used to implement many types of snakes found in the literature. The snake's external force is an input parameter, and hence the user can implement the GVF (gradient vector flow) or VFC (vector field convolution) external forces, or simply use the gradient. The balloon force is included. This package add to and builds on DIPimage, a scientific image analysis toolbox for MATLAB. See http://www.diplib.org/
Acknowledgements	Parametric Active Model Toolbox inspired this file.
MATLAB release	MATLAB 7.9 (R2009b)
Other requirements	DIPimage version 2.1 or newer - obtainable from http://www.diplib.org/

21 Sep 2012	Cris Luengo	Isabel, If you have your images already read into MATLAB, you can directly use them as input to DIPimage toolbox functions. To convert a MATLAB array to a DIPimage image object, use the function `dip_image`. Alternatively, if you install the Bio-Formats library, as explained in one of the notes in the help for the `readim` function, you'll be able to read in DICOM files directly as DIPimage images. Hope this helps!
20 Sep 2012	Isabel	Dear Cris, I'm working with MRI images in 3D and I have my pile of images in a "images.mat" how can I read the images with the DIP image toolbox? the original format of the images is .dcm Thank you
14 Oct 2010	Cris Luengo	Vivek, It's explained in the README file inside the ZIP that you download here. You need to install DIPimage (from http://www.diplib.org/). Then copy the two M-files "snakeminimize.m" and "dip_snake.m" to the "dip/common/dipimage/" directory and the M-file "private/paramtype_snake.m" to "dip/common/dipimage/private/". You might need to CLEAR FUNCTIONS before you can use these functions. Please let me know what it is that is not working! Cris.
14 Oct 2010	Vivek	hi, i'm having Matlab 7.8.0 R2009 in windows platform, could you please let me know, how to run this file?
