Abstract

In this paper, we review our computational strategy for image segmentation of experimental data of smoldering phenomena by the gradient flow of closed planar curves. The experimental images are preprocessed using an edge-preserving, inhomogeneous Perona-Malik equation. The gradient flow method is modified by a locally acting artificial pushing term penetrating concavities and by tangential redistribution stabilizing the appropriate positioning of discretization points.
