图像中非刚性曲线的蛇形检测算法

This directory contains the utilities programs for the GSNAKE API version 1.0. These utilities are especially targeted towards applications that manipulate image, rigid and deformable templates. Among the applications that can benefit are shape matrix and deformation variance learning algorithm, and image classification. Using these utilities you can generate, condition and view images, as well as minimize, train and classify deformable contours.

The utilities are summarized as below :
__________________________________________________________________________
Utility		Explanantion
__________________________________________________________________________
imggen		Generates SUN raster image manually or automatically based
		on a given closed contour.
imgshow		Displays images of type SUN raster or binary on an X window
		at a specified magnification factor.
imgcond		Performs histogram specification of image.
imgpyramid	Display Gaussian pyramid images, including magnitude and 
		direction images of an edge map. These images are conditioned
		by histogram specification parameters.
imglearn	Trains the shape matrix and deformation variance of a
		contour through a set image samples. 
imgclass	Classifies deformable contours directly from noisy images.
		These methods include match of rigid or deformable template,
		MAP estimation, and marginalization of the probability 
		distribution. 
gsinit		Generates a standard GSNAKE contour file either manually
		by mouse or automatically by program itself.
gsfit		Evaluates the match of a given deformable contour with the
		underlying image.
gsshow		Displays contour on an X window.
