[Insight-users] narrow band level set implementation in ITK?

[Biswajit Bose]

Hi,

Is there an implementation of the narrow-band level-set method in ITK? I 
wish to implement a region-based curve evolution algorithm similar to 
those of Tsai [1] and Kim et al. [2]  for separation of regions of an 
image based on differences in mean intensity. I have available the speed 
function for my problem, and am looking for level-set code into which I 
can plug in this function to solve the associated PDE.

I know that ITK has a filter that implements the fast marching method, 
but my speed function is such that it cannot guarantee constant 
expansion of the contour from its initial position.

Any pointers in this regard will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bis
