Experimental results demonstrate the robustness of the proposed model to the contour initialisation and to the additive noise, when compared with the state-of-the-art local and global ACMs. They also demonstrate its robustness to scene changes. date: 2015-01 date_type: published publication: Electronics Letters volume: 51 number: 2 publisher: IEEE pagerange: 142-143 id_number: 10.1049/el.2014.3691 refereed: TRUE issn: 0013-5194 official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=7014469&isnumber=7014433 citation: Abdelsamea, Mohammed and Gnecco, Giorgio Robust local–global SOM-based ACM.
