TY - JOUR AU - Ole Larsen AU - Petia Radeva AU - Enric Marti PY - 1995// TI - Bounds on the optimal elasticity parameters for a snake JO - Image Analysis and Processing SP - 37 EP - 42 N2 - This paper develops a formalism by which an estimate for the upper and lower bounds for the elasticity parameters for a snake can be obtained. Objects different in size and shape give rise to different bounds. The bounds can be obtained based on an analysis of the shape of the object of interest. Experiments on synthetic images show a good correlation between the estimated behaviour of the snake and the one actually observed. Experiments on real X-ray images show that the parameters for optimal segmentation lie within the estimated bounds.
