Abstract Global and local image information is crucial for accurate segmentation of images with intensity inhomogeneity, valuable minute details and multiple objects with various intensities. However, local information is not embedded in popular region-based active contour models, such as the Sign Pressure force (Spf) function based active contour model by K. Zhang et al. In this paper, we propose a region-based active contour model which is able to utilize together image information in local regions and global information. The major contribution of this paper is the introduction of a new local signed pressure force function, which enables the extraction of accurate local and global image information. Therefore, our model can be used to segment images with intensity inhomogeneity, minute valuable details and multiple objects with several intensities. Comparison tests show the advantages of our method in terms of robustness.
