The segmentation of shapes is automated using a new objective function to deform and move a contour toward the actual shape. New profile modeling and optimization criterion to automatically find corresponding points are also applied for segmentation and tracking of people in cluttered backgrounds. The proposed framework utilizes a Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera and automatically performs the initial target acquisition through motion and color-based segmentation. Successful results are presented for within and between frame segmentation and tracking. This algorithm presents a major extension to the state of the art and the original active shape model (ASM) which was designed for known objects in smooth non-changing backgrounds and where the landmark points need to be manually picked off-line. This is a fully automated, real time ASM that deals with changing backgrounds and does not require prior knowledge of the object to be segmented and tracked.

Cancer boundary detection is an important prior task in cancer diagnosis, which will help to manage the next treatment and operation. Active shape model is proposed to solve this problem as a promising technique. But for segmentation tasks with background interference or cases such as organs with similar gray scale values, it does not always match the target contours as well as expect. This paper proposes an active shape model technique using center-focus method to robustly match the target boundaries. The algorithm has been applied on CT slices containing prostate or bladder to demonstrate the good performance of object segmentation
