This paper investigates phase field models or diffuse interface formulations for region based active contour image segmentation. It was motivated by two earlier works: the use of a phase field model for higher-order active contours and a reformulation of the Mumford-Shah functional in terms of a diffuse interface model. Our main goal is to show how a diffuse interface formulation can advantageously be used for region competition segmentation.
