This article deals with flow of plane curves driven by the curvature and external force. We make use of such a geometric flow for the purpose of image segmentation. A parametric model for evolving curves with uniform and curvature adjusted redistribution of grid points will be described and compared.

We study polygonal analogues of several moving boundary problems and their time discretization which preserves the constant area speed property. We establish various polygonal analogues of geometric formulas for moving boundaries and make use of the geometric formulas for our numerical scheme and its analysis of general constant area speed motion of polygons. Accuracy and efficiency of our numerical scheme are checked through numerical simulations for several polygonal motions such as motion by curvature and area-preserving advected flow etc.
