ab: Summary: In this paper, we present a novel image contour extraction by ant
    colony algorithm and B-snake model. Using ant colony algorithm, an
    initial curve of B-snake is get, which rapidly converging near image
    edge. When the B-snake begins to iterate, new control points are
    inserted, which can enhance the flexibility of B-snake to describe
    complex shape. A minimum energy method minimum mean square error (MMSE)
    is proposed for B-snake to push it to the target boundary. The
    experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of our
    method.
