Abstract
In this paper we propose an automatic division procedure for the Topological Active Net model in a hybrid combination of a genetic and a greedy algorithm. This procedure allows the division of the active net in subnets with the aim of segmenting several objects in the same image. The combination of the greedy algorithm and the global search improves the results in both synthetic and real images.
