| Geometric computation of curvature driven plane curve evolution (2007) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| We present a new numerical scheme for planar curve evolution with a normal velocity equal to F () where is the curvature and F is a nondecreasing function such that F (0) = 0 and either x 7! F (x 3) is Lipschitz with Lipschitz constant less or equal to 1 or F (x) = x fl for fl 1=3. The scheme is completely geometrical and avoids some drawbacks of finite difference schemes. In particular, no special parameterization is needed and the scheme is monotone (that is, if a curve initially surrounds another one, then this remains true during their evolution), which guarantees numerical stability. We prove consistency and convergence of this scheme in a weak sense. Finally, we display some numerical experiments on synthetic and real data. 1 | |||||||||||||||
