Local Segmentation is the fundamental task for image processing. Consider to the problem of low segmentation precision and contour control instability for image local segmentation, a local segmentation theory is researched that based on SSCACM (spectral clustering with spatial coherence property jointing active contour model). First, by applying spatial coherence property constraint of image pixels to spectral clustering, an adaptive similarity function is constructed and the corresponding

Then, the NBACM (narrow band active contour model) is combined with the priori information of initial contour to evolve contour curve to get the segmentation result. At last, the local segmentation experiment is realized on synthetic images and medical images. The experimental results show that the method proposed can extract contour accurately and can improve the effectiveness and robust for image local segmentation.
