If you are familiarize with boundary single layer potential, you will see that the normal derivative have a jump relation related to the local value of the potential (see Colton & Kress book). This show that we can set pointwise Neumann bc at any values, though the Banach L^p norm (1<=p<infinity) of the "trace" can be anything else. There are an infinity harmonic functions that meet the *point-wise* Neumann condition.

(eye(256)-gradient(u).^2) becomes zero. Therefore,
1./(eye(256)-gradient(u).^2)) becomes inf. Therefore, the active contour disappears

(eye(256)-gradient(u).^2) becomes zero. Therefore,
1./(eye(256)-gradient(u).^2)) becomes inf. Therefore, the active contour disappears
