Description: 1. Introduction and Installation Instructions
----------------------------------------------
Welcome to the Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) Active Contour Toolbox. The
Matlab*.m files in this software distribution implement our GVF snake,
the original (Kass, Witkin, and Terzopoulos) snake, the balloon snake,
and the distance snake. These programs were designed, written and tested
by Chenyang Xu and Jerry Prince.
To install this software, simply unzip the file into an empty directory,
making sure to ask your unzipper program to restore the directory
structure of the zipped files. In this documentation, we will assume
that you have unzipped the files into C:\GVF.
2. Documentation
----------------
We have included two research papers that describe GVF. You can find
these in C:\GVF\papers.
Brief descriptions of the software modules can be found in this file
below. For more detail, you should run Matlab, add the path
C:\GVF\snake, and type "help function-name". F
