This paper generalizes the methods in a previous paper [10] in two ways. First, a more comprehensive analysis of the initialization problem of the Chan-Vese models is given. Second, the image segmentation method proposed in [10] is improved by applying bimodal curve evolution with region competition. The improved method maintains the advantages of the previous method. It is efficient, stable in the presence of strong noise and able to handle complicated images. It outperforms the previous method for images with weak edges. Experimental results in this paper demonstrate these improvements.
