Active Contour Model, also known as 'snakes', is a computational technique used in image processing to detect object boundaries by evolving a curve under the influence of internal and external forces. It balances the curve's smoothness with its ability to conform to the image's features, providing a flexible and accurate method for delineating complex shapes in noisy images.
