It is a generalization of the C-V model with the following characteristics: (1) A key technique, called the technique of painting background (TPBG), is developed to remove the information of the background, which blocks the detection of weak boundaries in the object; (2) The two-phase level set is applied multiple times for getting the multi-phase segmentation model (n-1 times for the n-phase model, n〉1); (3) A scaling-based method is introduced to improve the basic model.
