The GFGVF is refered as a component of external force and associated with optical flow field (OFF) to build a set of Snake equations. After the GFGVF and OFF are accurately calculated respectively , the initial outline can gradually approach to the region of inter2 est ( ROI) edges in the images under the constraint of Snake equations and track the ROI from frame to frame . Under some constrained conditions , the motion states of some feature points in the edge of ROI can be found by the Maximum a Posteriori Probability (MAP) during a period of cardiac motion. Then , the motion estimation is well optimized. Another , the coefficients in the set of ACM equations can be found using the prior informa2 tion , which avoids giving them by experience and improves the capability of edge tracing of ROI. By a period of motion tracking for CT and MR cardiac image sequences , the experiments s
