If a somewhat fast moving object exists in successive images, Snake′s nodes may fall into the local minima in their motion to the new positions of the target object in next image. In this paper,Snake tracking algorithm based on the motion compensation is presented to overcome this problem. Firstly, the motion information of object is analyzed. Secondly, the object′s position is made compensated according to this motion information.Finally, the object is tracked by Snake model. The final experimental results prove that this method performances a good tracking result and can greatly decrease the number of the Snake′s contour evolvement.
