ABSTRACT:
Computerized method for studying alterations in the location of an object, said method comprising the steps of computing successive shapes by means of a dynamic contour model algorithm, whereby the dynamic contour model algorithm develops successive shapes and determines a correlation between two successive shapes and for stopping the reiteration of the algorithm when said determined correlation is lower than a predetermined value.
