Active Contour Euler Elastica Loss Functions

Official implementations of Learning Euler's Elastica Model for Medical Image Segmentation

• A novel active contour based loss function.

Introduction

• Notes: Paper and more details will be released latter in arXiv soon.
• If you want to use these methods just as constrains (combine with dice loss or ce loss), you can use torch.mean() to replace torch.sum().

Requirements

Some important required packages include:

• Pytorch version >=0.4.1.
• Python == 3.6 Follow official guidance to install Pytorch.
