                         freshwater green microalgae. Our approach is based on a 
                         specialized level set method, leading to efficient and highly 
                         accurate algae segmentation. The level set formulation of our 
                         problem allows us to generate an algae's boundary curve as the 
                         result of an evolving level curve, based on computed background 
                         and algae regions in a given image. By characterizing the 
                         distributions of image intensity values in local regions, we are 
                         able to automatically classify image regions into background and 
                         algae regions. We present results obtained with our method. These 
                         results are very promising as they document that we can achieve 
                         highly accurate algae segmentations when comparing ours against 
                         manually segmented images (segmented by an expert biologist) and
