Processes in image recognition include target detection and shape extractio
n. Active Net has been proposed as one of the methods for such processing.
It treats the target detection in all image as an energy optimization probl
em. In this paper. a problem of the conventional Active Net is presented an
d the new Active Net is proposed. The new net is improved the ability for d
etecting a target. Finally, the validity of the proposed net is confirmed b
y experimental results.
