...Other related works are [29], [10], [26], and [24] on active contours and segmentation, [28] and [11] on shape reconstruction from unorganized points, and finally the recent works [20] and [21], where a probability based geodesic active region model combined with classical gradient based active contour techniques is proposed....

...In particular, the parametric active contours [1, 2] are represented explicitly as parameterized curves in a Lagrangian framework, while the geometric active contours [5–7] are represented implicitly as level sets of a two-dimensional function that evolves in an Eulerian framework....

...A desirable advantage of level set methods is that they can represent contours of complex topology and are able to handle topological changes, such as splitting and merging, in a natural and efficient way, which is not allowed in parametric active contour models [6], [8], [9] unless extra indirect procedures are introduced in the implementations....
