Boundary reconstruction in binary images using splines

作者:

Highlights:

• We present a new method for boundary reconstruction in noisy images using B-spline curves.

• The method is Bayesian and uses oriented distance functions for inference.

• The resulting estimator can be interpreted as a posterior expected boundary.

• We study the performance of the method on simulated data.

• We apply the method to reconstruct the skin-air boundary in mammogram images.
