Aim: To develop a method for automatic contour extraction from a 2D image.Material and Method:The method is divided in two basic parts where the user initially chooses the starting point and the threshold.Finally the method is applied to computed tomography of bone images.Results: An interesting method is developed which can lead to a successful boundary extraction of 2D images.Specifically data extracted from a computed tomography images can be used for 2D bone reconstruction.Conclusions: We believe that such an algorithm or part of it can be applied on several other applications for shape feature extraction in medical image analysis and generally at computer graphics.
