In this paper, a kind of image segmentation approach which based on improved Chan-Vese (CV) model and wavelet transform was proposed. Firstly, one-level wavelet decomposition was adopted to get the low frequency approximation image. And then, the improved CV model, which contains the global term, local term and the regularization term, was utilized to segment the low frequency approximation image, so as to obtain the coarse image segmentation result. Finally, the coarse segmentation result was interpolated into the fine scale as an initial contour, and the improved CV model was utilized again to get the fine scale segmentation result. Experimental results show that our method can segment low contrast images and/or inhomogeneous intensity images more effectively than traditional level set methods.
