The technology of Object Contour extraction is widely used in Image segmentation particularly medical imaging community , Motion tracking, Robot trace Planning, Monitoring System, No Driver Car, Cartoon Making and so on. Snake Model as an efficient way of implementing Object Contour extraction, is most used in follow applications:Image segmentation particularly medical imaging community , Motion tracking,Shape recognition.This dissertation presents an approach in tracking moving objects in a video sequence,named active contour module also named snake module,and also presents other improved approaches based on snake,and then integrated with Kalman Filter perform motion prediction, implementing tracking moving object.First,user initialise a contour close to the object of interest,following which,the contour should evolve and lock on to the object.Once a lock is obtained,its motion should be tracked over subsequent frames without any further user input necessary. This dissertation focus on object contour extraction. In this dissertation,based on the systematically analysis of theory and application research on the models,some improved approaches is proposed,such as using MINIMAX criterion to solve the problem of automatic selecting the parameters of the model,and using impvoed HOUGH transform to solve the problem of selecting initial contour,using impvoed dynamic programming in order to perform better convergence,and also using Kalman Filter to predict the possible position of moving target. The main works in this dissertation are as follows: 1. Implemeting greedy algorithm for snake.2. Solving the problem of selecting initial contour, solving the problem of automatic selecting the parameters of the model.3.Improving snake model, to makesnake model perform better convergenceAUsing kalman Filter to predict the possible position of moving target, Snake model integrate with Kalman filter to track moving object in a video sequence.
