	abstract = "Abstract. Active contours have been proven to be a powerful semiautomatic image segmentation approach, that seems to cope with many applications and different image modalities. However, they exhibit inherent drawbacks, including the sensibility to contour initialization due to the limited capture range of image edges and problems with concave boundary regions. The Gradient Vector Flow replaces the traditional image force and provides an enlarged capture range as well as enhanced concavity extraction capabilities, but it involves an expensive computational effort and considerably increased memory requirements at the time of computation. In this paper, we present an enhancement of the active contour model to facilitate semiautomatic contour detection in huge images. We propose a tile-based image decomposition accompanying an image force computation scheme on demand in order to minimize both computational and memory requirements. We show an efficient implementation of this approach on the basis of general purpose GPU processing providing for continuous active contour deformation without a considerable delay.",
