where c1 and c2 are the mean intensities of the regions
inside and outside the boundary C, respectively. L and S are
the length of C and the area inside C. S1 and S2 are the
region inside and outside of C, respectively. The associated
level set flow can be represented as:

position and orientation are more accurate. The outperformance benefits from the fact that the NSLS approach
handles the indeterminacy of the images well and DAMF
operation remove the effect of noise and other
indeterminant information, and preserve the determinant
information in NS domain.
