We have developed a new parallel and scalable algorithm for active con tour extractions. Our algorithm contains only communications between neighboring processors to achieve high performance parallel execution. Since the convergence ability of the contour is almost same as the original (sequential) algorithm, the propose method is a practical and effective algorithm to apply to any images.
