Adaptive Diffusion Flow Active Contours for Image Segmentation

a novel external force for active contours, called adaptive diffusion flow (ADF), is proposed.

GVF is an effective external force for active contours, however, there is still room for improvement. the proposed ADF is one improvement.

I am an experienced author of several extensions of the GVF model, such as the HGVF(harmonic GVF), NBGVF, GVC, CONVEF, ISAGVF, HISAGVF, DWGVF, GVFOM, OSAHGVF and this ADF, although I am just the second and corresponding author of the ADF model.

Although most of the above mentioned models are just in the state of conference papers, I will publish the source codes one after another,pls pay attention!
